Mkhwanazi vs Mchunu: What will President Cyril Ramaphosa do?

KWAZULU-NATAL, SOUTH AFRICA, JUL 10 – President Cyril Ramaphosa will respond to KZN Police Commissioner Mkhwanazi's allegations of corruption and political interference amid mounting national and political pressure.

  • President Cyril Ramaphosa will hold a televised briefing on Sunday, 13 July at 19:00 to address allegations involving Police Minister Senzo Mchunu and Commissioner Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi.
  • This briefing follows Mkhwanazi’s bombshell accusations last week that Mchunu disbanded a task team and has ties with drug cartels, sparking social media unrest threats and widespread political tension.
  • Supporters, led by Chris Excel, launched a BackaBuddy fundraiser that surpassed R35,000 to present Mkhwanazi with two cows in recognition of his efforts amid threats to his safety and heightened security measures.
  • In related political events, three by-elections held recently showed the DA winning 88% of the vote in Tshwane with 27% turnout, while opposition parties and church leaders plan protests supporting Mkhwanazi.
  • Ramaphosa’s upcoming meeting with Mchunu and Mkhwanazi and the planned public briefing suggest significant government action and a focus on crime despite ongoing political and social unrest.
