Madlanga Commission: Mchunu accused of interfering in IDAC investigation
The Madlanga Commission is investigating allegations that South African Minister Mchunu interfered in an IDAC probe regarding the purchase of forklifts using secret intelligence funds. Witnesses claim Mchunu showed a suspicious interest in the investigation, which was being conducted by the now-suspended Dylan Perumal.
Why it matters
The testimony highlights potential corruption and political interference within South Africa's intelligence and law enforcement oversight bodies.
Among the claims is that the PKTT sought to purchase two forklifts worth more than R700,000 using Crime Intelligence secret funds.
Ramsamy has told the commission that Mchunu appeared to have a vested interest in the investigation into the forklift purchase.
She has alleged that the suspended IDAC Chief Investigator, Dylan Perumal, went rogue by consulting a witness in the forklift investigation without her knowledge.
