In a dramatic show of support and defiance, the uMkhonto weSizwe (MK) Party descended on Gauteng police headquarters today, delivering a fiery memorandum in backing of KwaZulu-Natal Police Commissioner, General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi. The move signals deepening political tensions within South Africa’s law enforcement and ruling structures.
The demonstration follows Mkhwanazi’s explosive revelation that high-ranking government officials—including Police Minister Senzo Mchunu—allegedly interfered with investigations into political killings. His bold accusations sent shockwaves through the political landscape, casting a harsh spotlight on internal power struggles and allegations of obstruction of justice.
Rejecting President Cyril Ramaphosa’s announced inquiry into the matter, the MK Party instead demanded a full-blown criminal investigation. Their position? The stakes are too high for a mere internal probe. They argue that lives have been lost, accountability is overdue, and justice must no longer be delayed or diluted.
Today’s memorandum handover is more than a symbolic act—it’s the beginning of a broader campaign. The party is mobilizing for a national shutdown, with this march serving as a catalyst for what could become a major flashpoint in South Africa’s political calendar.
As tensions mount, all eyes now turn to Pretoria: Will the state respond with action—or with silence?
