The Minister of Police, Mr Senzo Mchunu, will be taking a leave of absence from his official duties following serious allegations levelled against him by the KwaZulu-Natal Provincial Commissioner of the South African Police Service (SAPS). This decision comes in light of the announcement by His Excellency, President Cyril Ramaphosa, that a Judicial Commission of Inquiry, to be chaired by Acting Deputy Chief Justice, Justice Mbuyiseli Madlanga will be established.
Minister Mchunu has welcomed the decision and expressed his full support for the process.
“I welcome and respect the President’s decision and pledge my commitment to the process.
Honour and integrity are the virtues I personally subscribe to and which we all need to make efforts to uphold.
I stand ready to respond to the accusations against me and account to the citizens of the Republic, fully and honestly so.”
