Comedian Anton Taylor has shared how Police Minister Senzo Mchunu set the Hawks on him over a satirical video he shared on TikTok on 29 March 2025.
In the video, Taylor plays a fictional role of a Czech criminal who bribed Mchunu to investigate the South African Police Service SAPS KwaZulu-Natal Provincial Commissioner Lt-Gen Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi .
He posted the video after reports claimed Mchunu, who is currently on leave of absence, had instructed the Independent Police Investigative Directorate IPID to investigate Mkhwanazi. IPID later said it was an anonymous individual who had filed the complaint.
