Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>The African National Congress (ANC) said that suspended Police Minister Senzo Mchunu will continue with his party duties while on special leave from Cabinet.<\/p>\n

Mchunu was placed on leave following allegations by KwaZulu-Natal Police Commissioner Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi that he interfered in high-profile criminal investigations.<\/p>\n

The ANC said that Mchunu had agreed to step aside from some organisational roles while he cooperates with both the Madlanga Commission and the party\u2019s integrity commission.<\/p>\n

Earlier this week, Mchunu handed over his digital devices to the political killings task team, as part of an ongoing investigation.<\/p>\n

His spokesperson, Sthembiso Mshengu, confirmed a search-and-seizure warrant was executed on Thursday.<\/p>\n

In a statement, the ANC national executive committee (NEC) said it would revisit the matter if new developments arose.<\/p>\n

The NEC reiterated that members facing criminal charges are expected to step aside until their cases are resolved.<\/p>\n
