South Africa's New Police Minister Firoz Cachalia Starts Work

 

Professor Firoz Cachalia's swearing-in follows President Ramaphosa's announcement that he had placed Police Minister Senzo Mchunu on a leave of absence with immediate effect.

Cachalia said he would ask the National Commissioner to arrange a session between the Anti-Corruption Council and the police management team to discuss the Council's recommendations, adding that he intends to work closely with the Minister of Justice, as the recommendations impact both their portfolios.

Mkhwanazi had raised concerns about an alleged criminal syndicate that has infiltrated law enforcement and intelligence structures. He also accused Mchunu of colluding with criminal elements to disband the Political Killings Task Team based in KwaZulu-Natal.
