Suspended police minister Senzo Mchunu says it was within his constitutional mandate to disband the political killings task team PKTT in December 2024.
Mchunu started his evidence at the Madlanga commission on Thursday by highlighting the duties of a police minister, which include the power to instruct the national commissioner.
Maj-Gen Margaretha van Rooyen, head of governance, legislation and policy at the legal services division at the SAPS, previously told the commission that Mchunu did not have the authority to disband the task team.
