DA calling for a parliamentary inquiry into political interference in the criminal justice system

# The DA is calling for a joint parliamentary inquiry between the portfolio committees of Police and Justice to investigate allegations of corruption and political interference in the criminal justice system. This follows the damning allegations made by KwaZulu- Natal’s Police Commissioner, Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi, which directly implicates Police minister Senzo Mchunu. The DA says a formal parliamentary inquiry is essential to uncover the truth, establish accountability, and restore integrity to the criminal justice system. It adds that citizens deserve a police service that is free from political interference.
