Opposition parties have criticized the appointment of ANC MP Soviet Lekganyane as chair of the parliamentary committee investigating allegations of police corruption made by KwaZulu-Natal Police Commissioner Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi. The EFF, uMkhonto weSizwe Party and ActionSA expressed concerns over an ANC member leading the probe, citing potential bias due to the involvement of ANC figures like suspended Police Minister Senzo Mchunu in Mkhwanazi's claims. Lekganyane, elected unopposed, defended his role, stating he serves the country's interests, not just his party's. The committee has until October 31 to report its findings.
