THE DA, uMkhonto weSizwe Party (MKP), and the EFF have all laid criminal complaints against Police Minister Senzo Mchunu.

The under fire Mchunu is being accused of misleading Parliament and being linked to individuals allegedly involved in the capture of the South African Police Service (SAPS).

The allegations that recently rocked the country were made by KwaZulu-Natal Police Commissioner Lieutenant-General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi, who claimed that Mchunu was working with businessmen Brown Mogotsi and Vusimuzi “Cat” Matlala.

The DA opened a case at Cape Town Central police station on Thursday morning, accusing Mchunu of committing fraud by knowingly making a false statement to mislead Parliament.

During a previous parliamentary appearance in March, Mchunu stated that he did not know Mogotsi.
