Mchunu is accused of attempting to sway another witness at the Madlanga Commission, according to an IOL report. The allegation is tied to events earlier this year, involving an undercover police officer who testifies that Mchunu tried to influence what he would say.

The witness claims that Mchunu sought to have him give evidence that would falsely implicate Lieutenant-General Dumisani Khumalo, the head of Crime Intelligence. The report frames the accusation as part of a broader set of claims about witness interference during the Commission’s proceedings.

The outlet does not provide additional competing accounts in the material provided, so the emphasis remains on the witness’s allegation and the specific individuals named. The context is that the Commission is examining matters connected to alleged wrongdoing and its witnesses, and questions about attempts to alter testimony are presented as a recurring issue in the proceedings.
