National police commissioner says disbandment of political killings task team was unlawful [SOUND]

# National police commissioner Fannie Masemola has told the Madlanga commission that the disbandment of the political killings task team was both unlawful and abrupt. Masemola said Police minister Senzo Mchunu never raised concerns about the unit beforehand and did not consult key stakeholders, including the national prosecuting authority. He added he was on leave when Mchunu issued the directive and learned of the decision via a WhatsApp message, with no prior discussion or warning:
