Police Seize Cellphones at Minister Senzo Mchunu’s KZN Home in Second Warrant Execution
Police officials have executed a high court search and seizure warrant at the private family home of Minister Senzo Mchunu in KwaZulu-Natal.
The operation, which took place on Monday, 21 September 2026, resulted in the confiscation of cellular devices.
According to an official statement released to media houses on Tuesday, the warrant was issued by the Johannesburg High Court.
The directive specifically targeted mobile devices linked to precise IMEI numbers detailed in the court documents.
The statement noted that Minister Mchunu complied fully with the law enforcement officials, handing over the requested handsets in the presence of his legal counsel.
The media release highlighted that this incident marks the second time law enforcement agencies have seized communication devices from the Minister.
The statement further clarified that the initial set of devices previously taken by the authorities has not yet been returned.
While the underlying reasons for the Johannesburg High Court warrant remain unconfirmed, the development is expected to draw heavy political and public scrutiny given Mchunu’s high-profile government portfolio.
Mchunu’s office indicated that he will formally address these ongoing developments, alongside other matters concerning his name, in the coming weeks.
