The third witness testifying in the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry , Major General Petronella van Rooyen from the Police Service, has told the Inquiry that Police Minister Senzo Mchunu had no authority to disband the KwaZulu-Natal Political Killings Task Team.
Van Rooyen, who is the Head of Governance, Legislation and Policy at the Legal Services Division at the South African Police Service, says the disbandment of the PKTT fell outside Mchunus mandate.
This as the PKTT, has been at the centre of the Madlanga Commission, which is looking into corruption and political interference in the criminal justice system.
