The Economic Freedom Fighters released a statement regarding the allegations, saying, "This level of coordination, resourcing, and political protection confirms the EFF’s long-held view that the ANC-led government has become a breeding ground for a mafia state, where political office is used not to serve the people, but to shield criminals and extract public wealth."
"This was confirmed not so long ago by NPA’s National Director of Public Prosecutions Shamila Batohi who highlighted the infiltration of the prosecuting authority which made it impossible to prosecute cases effectively."
"Essentially, the ANC government, through individuals like Senzo Mchunu, has transformed the state into a haven for gangsters masquerading as leaders."
