According to the institute, Mchunu is familiar with evidence-based policy direction and this will provide rigorous oversight at SAPS.

The ISS says in the next six months, Mchunu should issue a clear and bold National Policing Policy aimed at improving police performance, particularly concerning crime intelligence and investigation.

Institute for Security Studies Lizette Lancaster discussed this with eNCA.
