Collaborative Efforts: South Africa and China Team Up
In a series of tweets, Mchunu highlighted the importance of collaboration between South Africa and China. He emphasized that both nations are committed to working together, sharing insights on crime intelligence strategies and cutting-edge technology. This partnership aims to strengthen South Africa’s law enforcement capabilities and pave the way for a safer future.
Public Demand: Focus on Corruption
While some citizens praised Mchunu’s initiative to focus on crime-fighting, many believe the minister should prioritize understanding how China handles corrupt government officials. Social media buzzed with opinions, urging Mchunu to bring back solutions to combat corruption effectively.
Twitter user @InhouseAgent4 pointed out the severity of China’s stance on corruption, stating, “China doesn’t mess around with corrupt politicians and civil servants. If you steal public funds, you face the ultimate penalty—execution. Chinese officials are appointed based on merit, not favoritism.”
Another user, @Tata963491189, echoed the sentiment, adding, “It’s time for those implicated in state capture to face justice. We need accountability, and China’s methods could be the key.”
@Island_Tribe17 reinforced the importance of addressing corruption, saying, “Did you ask them how they handle government corruption? That’s where the real change begins.”
@rzondo expressed concerns about the trip being a worthwhile investment, stating, “Take detailed notes on how they deal with corrupt politicians and drug dealers. If these lessons aren’t implemented, the trip will have been a waste of taxpayers’ money.”

A Warning to Criminals: Mchunu’s Resolve
Briefly News reported earlier that Minister Mchunu issued a stern warning to criminals, assuring them that the law would soon catch up. The recent release of quarterly crime statistics painted a grim picture, but Mchunu remains optimistic about the South African Police Service’s (SAPS) ability to tackle crime effectively.
Mchunu’s warnings were particularly directed at those involved in extortion and trigger-happy criminals who challenge law enforcement. His visit to China underscores his commitment to equipping SAPS with the tools and strategies needed to combat crime and corruption, ensuring a safer South Africa for all its citizens.
