Suspended Police Minister Senzo Mchunu has resumed his role in the ANC’s National Executive Committee following months on the sidelines linked to serious allegations and an ongoing inquiry.
Suspended Police Minister Senzo Mchunu has officially returned to his duties as a member of the African National Congress (ANC) National Executive Committee (NEC).
Mchunu had voluntarily stepped aside from both the NEC and the party’s National Working Committee in November 2025 after allegations surfaced linking him to interference in police operations and alleged connections to criminal syndicates.
The claims were raised by KwaZulu-Natal Police Commissioner Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi, prompting widespread concern and scrutiny.
In July 2025, President Cyril Ramaphosa placed Mchunu on special leave as minister following the allegations. The matter also led to the establishment of a judicial commission of inquiry to investigate the claims.
