Ramsamy returns to Madlanga Commission after alleging Mchunu shared confidential report

IDAC prosecutor Drushantha Ramsamy has returned to the Madlanga Commission after telling commissioners that Police Minister Senzo Mchunu allegedly breached protocol by sharing a confidential Inspectorate report with an IDAC investigator.

Allegation at centre of Ramsamy’s testimony

According to IOL, on Tuesday Ramsamy told commissioners that Mchunu allegedly shared a confidential Inspectorate report with IDAC chief investigator Dylan Perumal. The claim was raised during Ramsamy’s testimony on Crime Intelligence investigations.

Questions about targeting of senior police figures

According to IOL, the allegation has opened fresh questions over whether Mchunu was involved in efforts targeting Crime Intelligence chief Lieutenant‑General Dumisani Khumalo and suspended National Police Commissioner Fannie Masemola.

Other matters before the commission

According to IOL, the commission is also expected to provide an update on proceedings involving businessman Suliman Carrim, whose repeated summonses have produced no appearance after he cited illness.

According to IOL, Witness P is seeking an in‑camera hearing before giving evidence on alleged police hit squads and gangs operating in KwaZulu‑Natal. The commission said the testimony could shed further light on allegations surrounding policing and political influence.

What to watch next

Ramsamy’s continued testimony is likely to be followed closely as the commission examines the connections between alleged information sharing and broader questions about policing oversight and influence.
