The African National Congress has determined that suspended Police Minister Senzo Mchunu will retain his organizational duties within the party while under investigation for corruption. An ANC spokesperson stated the National Executive Committee reviewed the matter and concluded he could continue in his party roles, despite his offer to step aside and his current special leave from the Cabinet.
This decision relates to two separate inquiries examining allegations that Mchunu improperly interfered with police operations. The party affirmed its commitment to due process and stated it would monitor the situation for any new developments. The ANC reiterated that its step-aside policy, which requires members to vacate their positions if formally charged with a crime, remains in effect.
Mchunu has denied all allegations against him and is cooperating with the ongoing investigations. The situation continues to draw public scrutiny regarding political accountability and internal party governance.
