South Africa’s Police Minister Senzo Mchunu has reportedly asked President Cyril Ramaphosa to place him on leave ahead of a national address scheduled for Sunday, 13 July 2025. This request follows explosive allegations by KwaZulu-Natal Police Commissioner Lieutenant-General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi, who accused Mchunu of interfering in high-profile investigations.

Mkhwanazi claims that Mchunu obstructed justice by disbanding the Political Killings Task Team – a specialized unit that handled over 600 cases and secured multiple convictions—and transferring sensitive case files to Deputy National Commissioner Shadrack Sibiya’s office. The commissioner suggested these moves were meant to shield powerful figures linked to criminal networks.

The allegations have triggered widespread backlash, with political parties, including the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) and the MK Party, demanding Mchunu’s removal or arrest. The South African Human Rights Commission has called for an independent probe, urging Ramaphosa to suspend implicated officials to ensure a fair investigation.

Public reaction on social media reflects deep frustration, with many viewing Mchunu’s leave request as an attempt to avoid accountability rather than face scrutiny. Critics argue that allowing him to step aside without consequences could further erode trust in law enforcement.

President Ramaphosa, returning from the BRICS Summit in Brazil, has pledged to address the nation on the matter, calling it a national security concern. His response will be closely watched, as delays or weak action risk worsening perceptions of government inaction on corruption.

The disbandment of the Political Killings Task Team has raised serious concerns, given its past successes in tackling politically motivated violence. Transparency and decisive measures will be crucial to restoring public confidence in South Africa’s justice system. Ramaphosa’s upcoming speech is expected to outline steps to address the crisis, including potential investigations or disciplinary actions.

The situation highlights growing tensions over accountability within South Africa’s leadership, with citizens demanding stronger action against corruption to protect the country’s democratic institutions.
