Mchunu denies association with Matlala, knows Mogotsi as ‘a comrade’
Police Minister Senzo Mchunu has denied alleged association with tenderpreneur, Vusimuzi 'Cat' Matlala, and Brown Mogotsi.
The minister's denial follows after KwaZulu-Natal Police Commissioner Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi made explosive allegations, implicating the minister, “his associate” Brown Mogotsi, and Deputy National Police Commissioner, Lieutenant General Shadrack Sibiya.
Spokesperson for the Ministry of Police, Kamogelo Mogotsi, says Mchunu has never met Matlala, has never spoken to him, nor has the Minister ever requested or received anything from him.
"The Minister did, however, initiate a review of the SAPS tender awarded to him when suspicions of possible wrongdoing surfaced. It was the same tender which has since been terminated.
"Furthermore, whilst the Minister knows and has met Mr. Brown Mogotsi, he is just a comrade and not an associate of the Minister. The Minister has never requested or received anything from him."
Meanwhile, President Cyril Ramaphosa is expected to land back in the country on Wednesday from Brazil, and indicated that he would deal with the issues implicating the police ministry.
