The ANC says Mkhwanazi's allegations must be investigated fully as they paint the country as 'lawless' and a 'banana republic'.
JOHANNESBURG - The African National Congress (ANC) says it's expecting a report from its deployee, Police Minister Senzo Mchunu, on the corruption allegations levelled against him.
On Sunday, KwaZulu-Natal Police Commissioner Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi made startling allegations against Mchunu, saying he is working with a syndicate to cover-up high profile investigations.
The ANC said Mkhwanazi's allegations must be investigated fully as they paint the country as 'lawless' and a 'banana republic'.

ANC Secretary General, Fikile Mbalula, said Mchunu will have to appear before the party's integrity commission soon.
"We have not met with comrade Senzo in this particular instance. I am fully confident he will engage with the leadership of the ANC and in particular, Luthuli House on the allegations that have been made. He owes it to the ANC, he doesn't have to be commanded. The ANC itself has its own processes, integrity commission and all of that. There is officials of the ANC, so he will brief us."
