Cape Town – Suspended Police Minister Senzo Mchunu is scheduled to appear before Parliament’s ad hoc committee on Thursday to respond to corruption allegations in the criminal justice system.
Committee chair Soviet Lekganyane confirmed Mchunu will testify over two days.
Mchunu was implicated by KwaZulu-Natal police commissioner Lieutenant-General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi, who accused him of interfering in police investigations, disbanding the political killings task team (PKTT) beyond his mandate, and having ties to corrupt businessmen while protecting organised crime figures.
