Johannesburg, South Africa – South African President Cyril Ramaphosa has suspended Police Minister Senzo Mchunu following serious corruption allegations. The decision was announced on Sunday after a high-profile claim by General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi linked the minister to organized crime activities. President Ramaphosa declared that Mchunu would take immediate leave of absence and instructed a judicial commission to investigate the matter thoroughly.
Senzo Mchunu denies all accusations against him. However, the gravity of the allegations has sparked political turmoil within the country and intensified public scrutiny of the police ministry. In an effort to maintain governance stability, Ramaphosa appointed veteran Indian-origin activist Firoz Cachalia as the new Minister of Police following Mchunu’s suspension.
The suspension has drawn widespread attention across South Africa and the wider African continent due to its implications on government transparency and the fight against corruption. This move highlights the ongoing efforts by the South African government to tackle corruption and uphold the rule of law.
South Africa’s Ministry of Communications and Digital Technologies had recently committed to boosting innovation and connectivity, signaling a broader governmental focus on development alongside accountability.
