He was previously the Member of the Executive Council (MEC) for the Department of Transport, Community Safety, and Liaison in the province. He is a member of the African National Congress and the former chairperson of the South African Communist Party (SACP) in KwaZulu-Natal and is a member of the Central Committee of the SACP.[2] He is seen as a close ally of former South African President Jacob Zuma.[3] ControversiesViolence at the Kennedy Road informal settlement in 2009Willies Mchunu's response to the violent attacks on Abahlali baseMjondolo at the Kennedy Road informal settlement was and remains controversial.[4][5] At the time of the attack, he claimed that the attacks were by a "criminal forum" associated with Abahlali baseMjondolo president S'bu Zikode.[6] Abahlali baseMjondolo and many civil society organizations have called the attack on Abahlali baseMjondolo and Kennedy Road residents politically motivated and blame Mchunu for condoning the attacks by an armed group affiliated with the ANC .[7][8][9] Mchunu's response to the attacks has also been criticized by Bishop Rubin Phillip and Archbishop Thabo Makgoba.[10] Mchunu refused calls for an independent investigation into the attacks.[11][12] Amnesty International sent a letter of concern to Willies Mchunu, but there was no response from his office.[13] On 18 July 2011, the case against the twelve members of Abahlali baseMjondolo arrested after the attacks was thrown out of court.[14] The Socio-Economic Rights Institute of South Africa issued a statement saying that the "charges were based on evidence which now appears almost certainly to have been manufactured" and that the Magistrate had described the witnesses as "belligerent", "unreliable", and "dishonest".[15] According to Paul Trewhela, "The scandal is that this political prosecution was instituted in the first place, and that it was dragged on, month after month, by magistrates, prosecutions and police without a shred of reliable evidence - with plentiful evidence, rather, of manipulation and intimidation of witnesses by the police and local ANC structures."[16] Deaths During Traffic Department 'Fitness Test' in 2012In last 2012 six applicants for positions as traffic officers died during a fitness test and another committed suicide following which there were calls for Mchunu's resignation.[17] Fields Hill 2013 CrashSince 24 people were killed on 5 September 2013 in one of the most horrific accidents on Fields Hill, the 2013 Pinetown crash, Willies Mchunu has discounted calls from residents for the banning of trucks on the "Hill of Horrors" as it has become known. Local City Councillor Rick Crouch has been vocal about the Provincial Government's failure in stopping the carnage on Fields Hill, going as far as accusing the KwaZulu-Natal MEC for Transport, Community Safety and Liaison, Willies Mchunu, of practicing tombstone legislation.[18] Councillor Crouch has been campaigning for stricter rules for trucks on Fields Hill.[19] References1. ^{{Cite news|url=https://www.iol.co.za/sunday-tribune/entertainment/kzn-premier-celebrates-70-in-style-14950164|title=KZN Premier celebrates 70 in style {{!}} Sunday Tribune|access-date=2018-08-08|language=en}} {{Use dmy dates|date=September 2010}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Mchunu, Willies}}2. ^What is Going on in KZN?, by Paul Trewhela, Politics Web, 9 January 2012 3. ^Senzo Mchunu's removal: 'Premier League' has cemented its support in KZN, Natasha Marrian, Business Day, 25 May 2016 4. ^Willies Mchunu and the attack on Kennedy Road, Paul Trewhela, Politics Web, 29 August 2011 5. ^Appeals are important, even on behalf of Zuma, Steven Friedman, Business Day, 1 June 2016 6. ^{{Cite news | url=http://www.info.gov.za/speeches/2009/09093013051002.htm | title=Police task team for Kennedy Road on cards after weekend killings | publisher=SA Government}} 7. ^{{Cite news|url=http://anarkismo.net/article/14|title=The Provincial Government and the Police have Officially Endorsed the Attacks on Abahlali baseMjondo|publisher=Anarkismo}} 8. ^{{Cite news|url=http://www.mg.co.za/article/2009-10-03-ethnic-tension-boils-over|title=Ethnic tension boils over|publisher=Mail & Guardian}} 9. ^{{Cite news|url=http://www.abahlali.org/node/5796|title=Update from Kennedy Road|publisher=Abahlali baseMjondolo}} 10. ^{{Cite news|url=http://www.abahlali.org/node/5836|title=The Archbishop of Cape Town Speaks Out|publisher=Abahlali baseMjondolo}} 11. ^{{Cite news | url=http://www.businessday.co.za/Articles/Content.aspx?id=83323 | title=Kennedy Road truth being hidden | publisher=BusinessDay}} 12. ^{{cite web | url=http://www.witness.co.za/index.php?showcontent&global[_id]=29985 | title=The Kennedy Road Informal Settlement controversy: Why an independent inquiry is essential | work=The KZN Witness}} 13. ^[https://www.amnesty.org/en/documents/afr53/011/2009/en/ South Africa: Failure to conduct impartial investigation into Kennedy Road violence is leading to further human rights abuses, Amnesty International], 16 December 2009 14. ^Press statement by the Unemployed Peoples Movement, 18 July 2011 15. ^"Kennedy 12" Acquitted 16. ^The ANC and the failing of democratic governance, Paul Trewhela, Politics Web, 27 August 2011 17. ^Fitness test deaths: Provincial minister dismisses calls to resign, Mail & Guardian, 31 December 2012 18. ^{{cite news|title=VIDEO: Councillor on Fields Hill truck restrictions|url=http://www.ecr.co.za/post/video-councillor-on-fields-hill-truck-restrictions/|accessdate=5 September 2014|newspaper=East Coast Radio|date=5 September 2014}} 19. ^{{cite news|title=Hill of horrors claims more lives|url=http://www.iol.co.za/ios/news/hill-of-horrors-claims-more-lives-1.1788358#.VLpaekeUeAk|accessdate=29 November 2014|newspaper=Independent on Saturday|date=29 November 2014}} 5 : Living people|African National Congress politicians|Members of the KwaZulu-Natal Legislature|People from KwaZulu-Natal|1948 births |
