Minister on Leave Still Earns Full Salary Amid Corruption Probe

South Africa’s newly appointed Police Minister, Senzo Mchunu, is facing backlash for continuing to receive his full salary—over R2.6 million annually—while on leave during a corruption investigation.

The controversy stems from explosive allegations by KwaZulu-Natal Police Commissioner Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi, who accused Mchunu of having ties to criminal figures. President Cyril Ramaphosa placed Mchunu on temporary leave pending a judicial inquiry but allowed him to keep his salary and ministerial benefits.

Despite stepping aside, Mchunu retains luxury perks, including:

  • A state-funded residence with staff

  • Free utilities and backup power

  • A chauffeur-driven official vehicle

  • VIP security and travel allowances

Public outrage has grown as taxpayers question why an official under investigation should receive full pay. The probe, expected to last months, will issue interim reports every three months. In the meantime, Wits University professor Firoz Cachalia will serve as acting minister starting late July.

Mchunu has stated he respects the president’s decision, emphasizing his commitment to “honour and integrity.” However, critics argue that suspending pay during serious allegations would demonstrate accountability.

The inquiry’s findings will determine Mchunu’s political future, but for now, the case highlights ongoing debates about ethical governance and taxpayer-funded privileges for officials in crisis.

Public Reaction:

  • @AntiCorruptionSA: “How is this acceptable? Suspension with pay isn’t consequences—it’s a vacation.”

  • @PoliticalWatchZA: “If Ramaphosa wants to prove he’s serious about cleaning house, this isn’t the way.”
