The African National Congress (ANC) Study Group on the Ad Hoc Committee investigating allegations raised by Lieutenant-General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi has issued a strong rebuke of what it describes as politically motivated attacks aimed at the Speaker of the National Assembly, Cde Thoko Didiza. The statement comes amid growing tensions in Parliament over procedural disputes and the handling of testimony from key witnesses in the high-profile inquiry. Thabiso Tema spoke to Khusela Sangoni‑Diko Whip of the ANC Study Group on Ad Hoc Committee and Leigh-Ann Mathys Deputy Secretary General of the Economic Freedom Fighters.
