'Mchunu didn't pen letter'

KZN Police Commissioner, Lieutenant-General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi has accused rogue political forces of sabotaging the fight against political killings and claimed suspended Police Minister Senzo Mchunu wasn't even the real author of the letter that disbanded the Political Killings Task Team (PKTT).

Testifying before Parliament's ad-hoc committee probing corruption in the criminal justice system yesterday, Mkhwanazi said: "I don't believe Minister Mchunu wrote that letter. Someone made him sign it.

"If [he] was honest, he would say 'someone made me sign this, I did not write it myself...' if he comes here and says it's him then there will be trouble."

The letter signed by Mchunu, was directed to the National Commissioner, General Fannie Masemola, to disband the PKTT.
