Opposition political parties are calling for Police Minister Senzo Mchunu to be fired ahead of President Cyril Ramaphosa’s address to the nation tonight.
It’s been exactly a week since KwaZulu-Natal Police Commissioner Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi made explosive allegations against Police Minister Senzo Mchunu.
Mkhwanazi has accused Mchunu of authorising the disbandment of the political killings task team without the approval of the provincial or national commissioners.
Furthermore, Mkhwanazi has accused Minister Mchunu of working with notorious criminals who have infiltrated the criminal justice system.
