South African President Ramaphosa Suspends Police Minister Amid Corruption Allegations
South African President Cyril Ramaphosa has suspended Police Minister Senzo Mchunu over serious allegations linking him to organized crime and criminal gangs. This move comes as part of a broader initiative to restore trust in the nation’s law enforcement agencies, which have been plagued by corruption issues. A commission of inquiry has been established to investigate these alarming claims further. Mchunu, acknowledging the suspension, has asked for a thorough investigation into the allegations against him, as calls for accountability and action mount. Meanwhile, South Africans express concerns over the effectiveness of previous commissions, demanding decisive steps from the government to address the ongoing police crisis.
