Ad Hoc Committee Exonerates Mchunu of Criminal Charges Amid Governance Concerns

Parliament's ad hoc committee investigating allegations against police minister Senzo Mchunu has concluded there is no evidence of criminality, though unresolved governance and integrity issues remain.

The draft report acknowledges Mchunu's directive to disband the political killings task team (PKTT) as a concern but states no corrupt agreement or criminal cartel involvement was proven.President Cyril Ramaphosa awaits the Madlanga commission's findings before deciding Mchunu's fate, who remains on special leave.

The inquiry highlights systemic weaknesses in law enforcement, including poor governance of specialised units, case management flaws, and vulnerabilities to external influence.
