Parliament investigation launched into Mchunu

The Portfolio Committee on Police, the Portfolio Committee on Justice and Constitutional Development, and the Joint Standing Committee on Intelligence have been instructed to investigate the claims.

This comes after KwaZulu-Natal Police Commissioner, Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi, accused Mchunu of obstructing police operations and shielding tenderpreneur Vusimuzi "Cat" Matlala.

Mkhwanazi further alleged that Mchunu interfered with police work by unilaterally disbanding a task team investigating political killings, bypassing consultation with both national and provincial commissioners.

Didiza has requested that the committees investigate the various allegations made by Mkhwanazi concerning national security, and subsequently report their findings to the National Assembly.
