MAKEKASIGREAT©®™ @KASIBC_AFRICA ONLINE EDITOR @KASIBC_AFRICA The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) is appalled by the decision of President Cyril Ramaphosa to place Minister Senzo Mchunu on “special leave” instead of removing him entirely from his position.  This so-called “special leave” is a cowardly deflection, designed to shield a corrupt Minister whose involvement in organised crime has been laid bare by KwaZulu-Natal Police Commissioner, Lieutenant General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi.  We additionally reject the legally and constitutionally baseless decision by the President to appoint an acting Minister of Police who is not a current member of Cabinet. This is a direct violation of Section 98 of the Constitution, which states: “The President may assign to a Minister any power or function of another Minister who is absent or otherwise unable to fulfil the functions of office.”  It is clear from this provision that only a sitting Minister may be assigned the functions of anothe...

Lt Gen Mkhwanazi alleged that the Minister of Police allegedly interfered with sensitive police investigations and colluded with business people, including a murder accused, to disband the...

We still have people in backrooms and those still in informal settlements, but we are saying slowly but surely, we are coming to you. Work with us, be patient, it is not an easy process because our families are growing, ou...
