Madlanga Commission | Witness E Plays Secret Recording of Minister Mchunu Coaching Lies

Описание: Witness E, a SAPS Crime Intelligence undercover operative under witness protection, delivered explosive testimony at the Madlanga Commission on January 26, 2026, presenting audio evidence that suspended Police Minister Senzo Mchunu allegedly tried to coach him into lying under oath.
The bombshell revelation came when Witness E played a recording that was accidentally saved by the Truecaller application on his phone. In the audio, Minister Mchunu allegedly promised Witness E that after submitting a false statement to the commission, he would live a "free and happy life."
Key revelations from Witness E's testimony:

Audio recording captures Minister Mchunu personally attempting to coach the witness into providing false testimony
Mchunu sought to manipulate evidence to falsely implicate Crime Intelligence head Lt-Gen Dumisani Khumalo
Mchunu's spokesperson, Kamogelo Mogotsi, contacted Witness E with instructions on how to testify
Witness E detailed repeated phone calls from Mchunu after the minister was placed on special leave by President Ramaphosa
The witness deliberately misled Mchunu, pretending to draft a false statement he never intended to submit
Witness E revealed he warned superiors weeks before the 2017 assassination of Sindiso Magaqa, but his warnings were ignored
The same senior officers he warned allegedly provided the vehicle and firearm used in Magaqa's murder

Portions of Witness E's testimony were delivered in camera (closed session) due to security concerns, as he is enrolled in a witness protection programme.
This testimony represents the most direct evidence of alleged witness tampering and political interference presented to the Madlanga Commission.
