Mkhwanazi To Appear Again Before Parliament Inquiry Probing Police Corruption

KwaZulu-Natal Police Commissioner Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi is set to return to Parliament later this week as the ad hoc committee investigating alleged corruption within the criminal justice system continues its work.

Mkhwanazi is scheduled to appear before the parliamentary inquiry on Friday, where he will again present evidence to lawmakers. His testimony is expected to form part of the final stages of the committee’s hearings.

National Police Commissioner Fannie Masemola will also reappear before the committee on the same day as proceedings move toward a conclusion.

During a housekeeping meeting on Monday, evidence leader Norman Arendse briefed members of Parliament on the schedule for the remaining sessions.

“Lt General Mkhwnazi on Friday, which will then propose should be a full day. We will also lead his evidence for probably two or three hours and then the committee can question him,” Arendse told MPs.

The committee is probing allegations of corruption within South Africa’s criminal justice system, with several senior officials expected to testify as the hearings draw to a close.
