# The MK Party has filed an urgent application in the Gauteng High Court to overturn president Cyril Ramaphosa’s decision to place Police minister Senzo Mchunu on leave of absence, and appoint professor Firoz Cachalia as acting minister. This comes after the Constitutional Court refused the party direct access in July, citing that the matter did not fall within its exclusive jurisdiction. The party is also challenging Ramaphosa’s decision to establish the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry into alleged corruption, collusion, and political interference within the police service.
