South African investigative officer Paul Govender testifies again at the Madlanga Commission that he was allegedly pressured to implicate General Mkhwanazi in the Senzo Meyiwa-related shootings.
According to Govender, Senzo Mchunu, working through an associate identified as Mavuso Ntandani, instructs him to claim that Mkhwanazi ordered the shootings. Govender presents this as part of a broader allegation that he was asked to make specific statements linking Mkhwanazi to events.
The report frames the testimony as a repeat of Govender’s prior claims, with the focus on who allegedly communicated the instruction and how that communication occurred. Other outlets may describe the same evidence with different emphasis—some concentrating on the identities of the alleged intermediaries, others on Govender’s account of the direction given and the purpose behind it—while the core point in this account remains that Govender says he is told to implicate Mkhwanazi.
