News24 | PODCAST | The Lead: Mchunu defends decision to disband PKTT, with Jan Gerber

Is the suspended Police Minister, Senzo Mchunu, corrupt and complicit in shielding cartel criminals by ordering the disbandment of the Political Killings Task Team? It’s certainly the key question MPs may be looking to ask now that Mchunu, who’s been on gardening leave, is in the hot seat this week at Parliament’s ad hoc committee.

He’s been itching to tell his side of the story.

Suspended Police Minister Senzo Mchunu has been emphatic to Parliamentarians this Thursday that there was no sinister ulterior motive in disbanding the Political Killings Task Team and that the unit was under review for a long time.

Catch the very latest from Mchunu’s evidence before MPs, with our senior parliamentary correspondent, Jan Gerber, in this edition of The Lead.

Later, the road to Springbok glory was difficult, with our regular segment, “On This Day in SA History”, at the end of the show.
