ANC Secretary-General Fikile Mbalula has confirmed that Police Minister Senzo Mchunu has not appeared before the ANC’s Integrity Commission, nor has there been any engagement with the body, despite serious allegations made against him by Lieutenant-General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi.
The revelation raises questions about the party’s internal accountability mechanisms, especially amid growing public pressure for answers in a scandal that has shaken public confidence in law enforcement leadership. Mkhwanazi has accused Mchunu of interfering with police investigations into political killings in KwaZulu-Natal, claims that have triggered a judicial inquiry and widespread political fallout.
Mbalula, while reiterating the ANC’s commitment to accountability, did not indicate when — or if — Mchunu would appear before the Integrity Commission, leaving the timeline for internal party scrutiny unclear.
As the ANC grapples with the political and ethical implications of the controversy, critics argue that swift engagement with its own Integrity Commission is essential to demonstrate seriousness about transparency and internal discipline. For now, the party’s top leadership remains under close watch.
