Today, August 5, 2025, Parliament will host the first sitting of the Ad Hoc Committee investigating Lieutenant General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi’s serious allegations against the South African Police Service (SAPS). The 18-member multi-party committee is set to convene at 11:00 AM, with the election of a chairperson as its top priority.
Formed by the National Assembly on July 23, 2025, the committee faces the critical task of examining Mkhwanazi’s claims of deep-rooted corruption, political interference in police operations, the unlawful disbandment of the Political Killings Task Team, and irregular procurement contracts within SAPS.
This high-profile inquiry marks a pivotal moment for South Africa’s fight against corruption and political meddling in law enforcement, as Parliament seeks to uncover the truth and restore public confidence in the country’s policing structures.
