Members of parliaments ad hoc committee investigating allegations of corruption in the criminal justice system have expressed outrage after private investigator Paul OSullivans request to testify virtually.
Last week OSullivan formally requested to appear before the committee via video link, citing death threats and his absence from the country, saying he is currently in London. While he agreed to provide evidence, he insisted on doing so only in a virtual capacity.
OSullivan is a central figure in the committees probe. He has faced accusations of wielding undue influence over the Independent Police Investigative Directorate Ipid, with some witnesses alleging he was effectively in charge of SAPS, Ipid and the National Prosecuting Authority.
