Presidential spokesperson Vincent Magwenya has clarified comments he made regarding the findings of the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry involving Police Minister Senzo Mchunu.
Magwenya says he incorrectly conflated the Commission’s findings with recommendations, explaining that while the Commission did make findings against Minister Senzo Mchunu, it did not issue any recommendations at this stage.
President Cyril Ramaphosa established the Commission following KwaZulu-Natal Police Commissioner Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi’s allegations, including those of corruption among senior police officials.
He says President Ramaphosa is of the view that he will deal with the matter politically once the Commission has concluded its work and the final report has been submitted.
According to Magwenya, the President wants Minister Mchunu to return and respond to all allegations levelled against him.
He adds that the final report will be made public and is expected to contain several elements outlined in the interim report.
