In 2025, South Africa’s Parliament faced a huge crisis when top police official Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi accused Minister Mchunu of secretly shutting down a key team fighting political murders and hiding important case files. This sparked fierce investigations into corruption, coverups, and broken trust in government. Parliament responded by setting up special committees to dig deep and demanded openness, whistleblower protection, and stronger justice. The scandal tested South Africa’s democracy, reminding everyone that protecting truth and fairness takes courage and vigilance.
