Parliament’s SAPS Ad Hoc Committee met yesterday to deliberate on the dramatic walkout by forensic investigator Paul O’Sullivan during last week’s hearings into allegations linked to Police
Commissioner Lieutenant-General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi. The committee is now considering its next steps after O’Sullivan abruptly left proceedings while still under oath, before being formally excused by the chairperson. Some Members of Parliament are calling for him to be subpoenaed to return and complete his testimony, arguing that his departure undermined Parliament’s oversight process. Others maintain that while his conduct was controversial, it may not amount to a criminal offence.
