- Suspended Police Minister Senzo Mchunu has handed his electronic devices to SAPS investigators.
- He is accused of interfering with police work and disbanding the Political Killings Task Team.
- Mchunu maintains his innocence and pledges full cooperation with the investigation.
The suspended Minister of Police, Senzo Mchunu, has handed over his electronic devices to the South African Police Service investigators as part of an ongoing investigation.
Mchunu is implicated in interfering with police work. Earlier this year, KwaZulu-Natal Police Commissioner Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi accused Mchunu of being involved with underworld figures.
He further accused him of disbanding the Political Killings Task Team unnecessarily, an action that Mchunu has since defended, citing that even President Cyril Ramaphosa knew about the disbanding of the team.
Spokesperson for Mchunu, Sthembiso Mshengu, confirmed that the suspended Minister handed over his devices on Friday, 07 November 2025.
“Mr. Mchunu reiterates his full cooperation with all lawful processes and reaffirms his unwavering commitment to transparency, accountability, and respect for the rule of law. From the outset, Mr. Mchunu has maintained that he has nothing to hide and welcomes any lawful investigation aimed at clarifying facts and upholding the integrity of public office,” said Mshengu.
Mshengu added that Mchunu remains focused on his responsibility to serve the people of South Africa and to safeguard the integrity of the country’s democratic institutions.
