Cape Town – The Democratic Alliance (DA) has laid criminal charges against Police Minister Senzo Mchunu at the Cape Town Central Police Station.
This action follows serious allegations by KwaZulu-Natal Police Commissioner Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi, accusing Mchunu and other senior police officials of corruption, links to criminal syndicates, and interfering with police operations.
The DA has accused Mchunu of misleading Parliament after he initially claimed in March that he didn’t know businessman Brown Mogotsi.
However, Mchunu reversed his statement on Wednesday, admitting he does know Mogotsi.
DA deputy chief whip Bax Nodada said Mchunu’s admission constitutes a serious breach of the law. He said that the minister must be held accountable for allegedly lying to Parliament.
Watch Nodada as he speaks below:
❌ Another ANC Minister caught lying to Parliament. Minister Mchunu denied ties to a man linked to criminal syndicates in SAPS. SA deserves honest leadership and a justice system free from political interference. The DA is fighting for accountability. Join our fight:… pic.twitter.com/iCcYpP3juu
