Taylor portrayed a fictional Czech criminal who bribed Mchunu with a BMW and sex workers to investigate the Kwazulu-natal Police Commissioner, Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi.
Usually freedom of expression wins the day in South Africa and Taylor says preventing comedians from making jokes is the most un-South African thing to do.
The Executive Director of the Campaign for Free Expression, Professor Anton Harber discussed this with eNCA.
