Associate Professor at the Wits School of Governance William Gumede says the job description of the Police Minister as a political head has nothing to do with overseeing police operations.
A number of people including KwaZulu-Natal Police Commissioner Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi have told the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry in Pretoria that embattled Minister Senzo Mchunu disbanded the Political Killings Task Team PKTT.
Mkhwanazi has accused senior police officials including Mchunu of being corrupt and having links to crime syndicates.
