'We can't ignore the evidence': ANC chief whip demands investigation into Mchunu and Mogotsi

ANC Chief Whip Mdumiseni Ntuli on Wednesday urged the Ad Hoc Committee to recommend an investigation into the alleged corrupt relationship between suspended Police Minister Senzo Mchunu and alleged political fixer Brown Mogotsi.

Ntuli said the evidence on the alleged corruption relationship between Mchunu and Mogotsi still remained unproven and inconclusive.

“It relies largely on what one can only call speculation and conjecture, not necessarily substantive evidence, which we can stand on to confirm, indeed, that the two gentlemen, the minister and Mr Mogotsi, have entered into some corrupt relationship,” he said.

Regarding evidence on alleged corruption between Mogotsi and attempted murder-accused tenderpreneur Vusimuzi “Cat” Matlala and corruption done on behalf of Mchunu, Ntuli said he held the view that the report should indicate that they can't make a finding, as the information before the committee did not confirm such.
