Police Minister Senzo Mchunu Hands Devices to SAPS Investigators in Interference Probe

He remains on special leave at the president's request during ongoing inquiries.

Overview

  • Mchunu’s spokesperson, Sthembiso Mshengu, said the minister voluntarily surrendered his electronic devices on 6 November 2025.
  • The handover forms part of investigations into alleged political and criminal interference in policing, which include the Madlanga Commission’s work.
  • Mshengu said Mchunu welcomes any lawful investigation, has nothing to hide, and is confident due process will confirm ethical conduct.
  • Police have been seeking phones and laptops for evidence, with reporting linking Mchunu to figures Vusi 'Cat' Matlala and Brown Mogotsi.
  • Investigators previously pursued devices from suspended chief of staff Cedric Nkabinde, who alleged police assaulted his brother, a claim SAPS denied.
