SA police union calls for calm following allegations against Police Minister

Date: Jul 7, 2025

South Africa’s Police and Prisons Civil Rights Union (POPCRU) has called for calm and urged the public to refrain from speculation following explosive allegations by KwaZulu-Natal Provincial Commissioner, Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi, against senior members

During a televised briefing, Mkhwanazi told journalists Police Minister, Senzo Mchunu had associations with dubious characters and that high ranking police officers are corrupt.

POPCRU Spokesperson, Richard Mamabolo says it is deeply concerned about the potential implications of these disclosures.

“ POPCRU remains confident that, upon his return to the country, His Excellency, President Cyril Ramaphosa will exercise his constitutional duty as Head of State and the Commander-In-Chief of all armed forces to ensure this matter is urgently prioritised. It is essential that no stone be left unturned in determining the full scope of the issues raised, holding those found responsible accountable, and restoring public confidence in SAPS leadership," Mamabolo said.
