The decision to place Police Minister Senzo Mchunu on leave has been challenged by former president Jacob Zuma and members of the uMkhonto weSizwe Party.

The lawsuit asks a court to rule that the president’s conduct is “unlawful and politically motivated,” and to let Minister Mchunu carry out his responsibilities unimpeded.
