'I was asked to implicate General Mkhwanazi’: Govender again points to Senzo Mchunu | Madlanga Commission
Govender testified on Monday that Mchunu, speaking through his associate Mavuso Ntandani, allegedly instructed him to claim Mkhwanazi had ordered all the shootings.
On the 21st of the current month, shortly before Lt-Col Deenadayalan Govender's appearance before the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry, he recounted a telephone conversation with Mavuso Ntandani. Ntandani, described as a close associate of suspended Police Minister Senzo Mchunu, allegedly instructed Govender to implicate KwaZulu-Natal Police Commissioner Lieutenant-General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi in connection with police shootings within the province.
Mchunu has denied these allegations. When asked whether "the Minister" would support him, Govender's response was that Ntandani "100 percent" affirmed, further emphasizing that it should remain confidential.
