Suspended police minister Senzo Mchunu has been accused of attempting to force a witness to submit a false statement as evidence at the Madlanga commission.
Witness E, a senior official in crime intelligence in KwaZulu-Natal, who can only be referred to anonymously, told the commission on Monday that Mchunu tried to force him to not avail himself before the commission and to lie in his written submission.
He said Mchunu also attempted to force him into saying that the head of crime of intelligence, Lt-Gen Dumisani Khumalo, failed to execute his duties in acting against senior officials implicated in the murder of former ANC youth league secretary Sindiso Magaqa, among other things.
