Mchunu appeared before the Ad Hoc Committee and the Madlanga Commission to justify his decision to disband the Political Killings Task Team (PKTT) and respond to allegations of corruption, specifically regarding ties to a tender tycoon and interfering with police operations.

Mchunu's decision to write to Mbalula, has been confirmed by his spokesperson Sithembiso Mshengu, who said this consideration came following his appearance before the Parliamentary Ad Hoc Committee and the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry.

Mshengu said Mchunu is likely to write to ANC secretary-general, Fikile Mbalula, asking for permission to resume his political duties.
