Police swoop on Senzo Mchunu’s KZN home, seize cellphone
Suspended Police Minister Senzo Mchunu handed a cellphone to police during a search at his KwaZulu-Natal family home. His spokesperson said the device was surrendered in the presence of his attorney.
On Monday, September 21st, police officers from the Provincial Serious and Violent Crimes Unit executed a search and seizure warrant at the home of suspended police minister Senzo Mchunu in KwaZulu-Natal. The warrant, granted by the Gauteng High Court in Johannesburg, allowed the officers to seize electronic devices. Colonel Robert Netshiunda, a spokesperson for the South African Police Service, confirmed that the search was part of an ongoing investigation into cases of defeating the ends of justice and fraud.
Mchunu's spokesperson, Sthembiso Mshengu, confirmed that officers seized cellphones with specific IMEI numbers. Mchunu handed over the devices in the presence of his attorney, as required by law. This was the second time police had seized his communication tools, though the first set was allegedly never returned. Mchunu plans to address these developments and other matters related to his name in the coming weeks.
