Minister Senzo Mchunu appears before Parliament’s Ad Hoc Committee
Police Minister Senzo Mchunu has told Parliament’s Ad Hoc Committee investigating allegations of political interference and corruption in the criminal justice system, that he did not have to consult the inter-ministerial committee before disbanding the political killings task team (PKTT).
Mchunu, who was put on special leave following the allegations, is appearing before the committee in Parliament.
A tense exchange between Mchunu and the evidence leader Senior Counsel Norman Arendse took place over the matter.
Mchunu says his decision to disband the political killings task team (PKTT) was one way to try to address policing issues in the country and to fight crime more equitably.
“They wrote these things. The bulk of them last year. And I did have the discussion with the national commissioner about them and I also they wrote letters to the portfolio committee already last year. And remember that I even said about Mashale, I even said some matters have a profile.”
