President Cyril Ramaphosa has appointed Mineral and Petroleum Resources Minister Gwede Mantashe acting Police Minister until Professor Firoz Cachalia assumes the role of acting Police Minister at the start of August.

Mantashe will also retain his responsibilities as Mineral and Petroleum Resources Minister.

Ramaphosa on July 13 placed Police Minister Senzo Mchunu on a leave of absence after KwaZulu-Natal police commissioner Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi accused the Minister of having colluded with a criminal syndicate and having interfered in high-profile investigations.

The President also announced that a commission of inquiry would investigate the allegations against Mchunu.

Cachalia is due to retire from his position at the University of the Witwatersrand at the end of this month.
