ANC MP Khusela Sangoni accused of ‘protecting’ Mchunu

Activists and Citizens Forum claims that ANC MP Khusela Sangoni is shielding Police Minister Senzo Mchunu to the detriment of suspended National Police Commissioner General Fannie Masemola. Mchunu is currently on special leave while charges against Masemola have been dismissed. The forum alleges that Sangoni, who also chairs the Ad Hoc Committee for the Member of Parliament, is attempting to deflect blame for malpractice within the South African Police Service (SAPS) onto Masemola, whom Mchunu allegedly pressured to disband the Political Killings Task Team (PKTT).

According to the forum's spokesperson Dennis Bloem, "ANC Member of Parliament Khusela Sangoni, member of the Parliamentary Ad Hoc Committee, will never succeed with her dirty plans to get rid of the police commissioner Fannie Masemola. It is totally disgusting but not surprising that Khusela finds Commissioner Fannie Masemola guilty."

Bloem questions why Sangoni does not condemn Mchunu for allegedly disregarding his duty to object to an unlawful order from the Minister.
