Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>The ad hoc committee probing police corruption has completed much of its work in 2025, but its business is still far from over with more evidence expected in 2026.<\/p>\n

The committee has already seen 14 witnesses give testimony, from KwaZulu-Natal provincial commissioner Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi to attempted murder-accused businessman Vusimuzi \u2018Cat\u2019 Matlala.<\/p>\n

Parly ad hoc committee hears details of how R360m SAPS tender was awarded to Matlala<\/p>\n

MPs clash with De Haas over her refusal to name her sources<\/p>\n

The committee also heard evidence from lesser-known figures like Senzo Mchunu\u2019s chief of staff, Cedric Nkabinde, as well as KZN based researcher Mary de Haas.<\/p>\n

Members of Parliament (MPs) will now hear testimony from about seven more witnesses before concluding its hearing by February.<\/p>\n

The hearings also saw unfamiliar but influential figures being put on the spotlight as MPs tried to make sense of the levels of police corruption.<\/p>\n

One such witness was De Haas, who was grilled over her refusal to release the names of her sources who claim police misconduct.<\/p>\n

Nkabinde also found himself in the full glare of the public as he took the stand.<\/p>\n

During his evidence, Nkabinde implicated forensic investigator Paul O\u2019Sullivan as having undue influence on police operations.<\/p>\n

He was also threatened by O\u2019Sullivan during the hearings.<\/p>\n

The committee also had a few lighter moments like the debate around the meaning of the word \u201cimmediate\u201d.<\/p>\n

This was after Mchunu told MPs that his directive may have mentioned the word immediately, but he didn\u2019t meanright away.<\/p>\n

In 2026, the committee is expected to hear from more witnesses like suspended Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Police Service (EMPD) officer Julius Mkhwanazi from Ekurhuleni, former Independent Police Investigative Directorate (IPID) head Robert McBride and a likely written submission by President Cyril Ramaphosa.<\/p>\n
