Police Minister Senzo Mchunu cautions politicians against interfering with police operations.

This comes after reports that Ian Cameron, Chairperson of Parliament’s Portfolio Committee on Police, was present at a crime scene in Khayelitsha on the Cape Flats.“I have been told by the Deputy Minister that she saw the Chair of the Portfolio Committee Ian Cameron, now I didn’t see that. So we will be making formal contact with him so that he confirms this and why because we are concerned about us or whoever is getting to a live crime scene,” said Mchunu.

He added, “It shouldn’t happen, leave professional police alone to pick up whatever and to talk among themselves and to pick up every form of information while they are investigating. Even if we had an opportunity, we would have gone there but maintain a particular distance, but to back them up to say we are here to welcome what you have done in that crime scene.
