The Ad Hoc Committee investigating allegations made by KwaZulu-Natal Police Commissioner Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi received a draft report from evidence leaders on Thursday.
The draft report of the Ad Hoc Committee that investigated allegations made by KwaZulu-Natal Police Commissioner Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi has found evidence from witnesses that showed a serious and multi-layered institutional crisis in law enforcement.
Briefing the committee on the draft report on Thursday night, evidence leader, Advocate Norman Arendse, said the central finding from the 28 witnesses was that suspended Police Minister Senzo Mchunu issued his December 2024 directive to disband the Political Killings task team (PKTT) without consulting President Cyril Ramaphosa, National Commissioner Fannie Masemola, National Prosecuting Authority, and the Civilian Secretariat of the Police.
Arendse said the directive was transmitted on the eve of a public holiday while Masemola was on leave.
He further stated that Mchunu’s reasons contradicted his own concessions during his testimony.
