KWAZULU-NATAL – Senzo Mchunu has shown solidarity to Ngizwe Mchunu, visiting him at his home in Mbumbulu, south of Durban.
The Minister of Police, who is currently on special leave, visited the media personality’s home in Mbumbulu, almost a week after it was damaged in an arson attack.
The rural home of the former Ukhozi FM radio presenter was set alight on Sunday, 10 May 2026, allegedly by men who were looking for him. Mchunu was away in Johannesburg at the time of the incident.
The suspects then set the property alight, destroying the main house and traditional rondavels in the process. Mchunu’s children were present at the time but managed to escape unharmed. Ngizwe has denied that he was responsible for the fire in order to score sympathy.

Police Minister visits the site
On Friday, 15 May 2026, photos surfaced on social media of the African National Congress (ANC) member meeting with the media personality at the property.
Little is known about the exact reason for the visit, but the minister was there to show solidarity after the arson attack.
Mchunu is not the only politician to visit the property. Members of the uMkhonto weSizwe (MK) Party visited the activist’s property a day after the fire, as did ActionSA councillor Zwakele Mncwango. The ANC eThekwini Regional Task Team also visited and reportedly handed over a hardware voucher and cash collected from businesspeople to the media personality.
