Mchunu rejects ‘inaccurate’ claims made by Witness E at Madlanga Commission

By Johnathan Paoli

Suspended Police Minister Senzo Mchunu on Tuesday night rejected allegations made by an undercover criminal intelligence operative, known as Witness E, at the Madlanga Commission earlier in the day, calling the testimony “inaccurate and untruthful”.

“I deny the allegations he makes about me, including the interactions on his statements,” Mchunu said in a statement, adding that his legal team was dealing with the matter.

Mchunu said he would respond formally to the allegations when he next appeared before the commission.

During his testimony on Tuesday, Witness E alleged that the former minister pressured him to provide a statement to the commission that would favour Mchunu.  

He told the inquiry that Mchunu had repeatedly contacted him from various phone numbers since last year, allegedly saying he believed his communications were being monitored.
