Former acting national police commissioner Gen Khomotso Phahlane on Wednesday appeared before the ad hoc committee probing allegations made by KwaZulu-Natal provincial commissioner Gen Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi.
Mkhwanazi told the nation during a media briefing in July last year that the police system had been infiltrated by criminal cartels.
He said the suspended police minister and suspended deputy police commissioner had been influenced by criminal cartels to issue directives to disband the political killings task team in December 2024.
