Allegations of South Africa’s (SA) embattled Police Minister Senzo Mchunu’s presidential ambitions and interference in police investigations are under the spotlight at the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry
The commission will continue its hearings in Pretoria on Monday morning. Various witnesses involved in investigating businessperson and murder accused Katiso “KT” Molefe will take the stand this week.
An operation to arrest Molefe took place in the SA city of Johannesburg, in December last year. He was arrested for the murder of Vereeniging Engineer Armand Swart. Various witnesses have taken to the stand at the commission to testify about the takedown operation of Molefe.
The testimonies of witnesses A, B and Captain Maxwell Wanda, a former member of the Political Killings Task Team have corroborated with each other. All three have testified about how members of the Hawks allegedly tried to interfere with investigative operations at Molefe’s home.
They further testified about the presence of a SA Police Service helicopter which hovered about Molefe’s house during the operation.
