News24 | KZN top cop accuses police minister of political interference in investigations

KwaZulu-Natal Police Commissioner, Lieutenant-General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi.

KwaZulu-Natal police commissioner, Lieutenant General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi, has registered a criminal investigation against Police Minister Senzo Mchunu following claims of political interference in work carried out by the task team into political killings.

In a briefing on Sunday morning, Mkhwanazi accused the minister of political interference in investigations, and having an ulterior motive in disbanding the political killings task team.

Mkhwanazi said the task team was disbanded because it had unmasked a syndicate that involved politicians currently serving in Parliament and law enforcement officers, including SAPS, Metro Police, and Correctional Services.

He also claimed Mchunu has ties to the underworld and corrupt police officers.
