ActionSA plans to lead a protest outside the KwaZulu-Natal police headquarters in Durban today.
The party demands urgent action on what it describes as a deepening crisis in South Africa’s criminal justice system.
The protest follows explosive allegations by KwaZulu-Natal Police Commissioner Lieutenant General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi.
He accused senior South African Police Service (SAPS) leaders, including Police Minister Senzo Mchunu, of corruption, links to criminal syndicates, and interfering with police operations.
Speaker Criticised for Committee Investigation
Speaking with SABC News, ActionSA’s KwaZulu-Natal leader Zwakele Mncwango criticised National Assembly Speaker Thoko Didiza for referring the matter to three portfolio committees.
He argued that the committees would fail to deliver meaningful accountability.
Mncwango Says President Must Act
Mncwango insisted that there is enough evidence against Mchunu to justify immediate action.
“I think the Speaker is doing what ANC leaders usually do, protecting each other,” Mncwango said.
“The president must be brave enough. There’s enough information presented to suspend or remove the minister.”
Mncwango also pointed out that Mchunu denied knowing some individuals during a parliamentary session, but later admitted to knowing one of them, which he said raises further concerns.
Do you think President Ramaphosa should suspend Police Minister Mchunu while investigations into SAPS corruption claims continue?
