The National Assembly has adopted a report from the joint committees of Police and Justice and Constitutional Development, to establish an ad hoc committee that will look at threats to national security.
The adoption comes after National Assembly Speaker Thoko Didiza instructed the committees as well as the Joint Standing Committee on Intelligence to urgently consider the KwaZulu-Natal Police Commissioner Nhlanhla Mkhwanazis allegations that senior police officials are corrupt, have links to criminal syndicates and interfere in police operations.
The African National Congress ANC Chief Whip Mdumiseni Ntuli says the suggested composition of the ad hoc committee will consist of 11 members.
Ntuli says, "Four from ANC, two from DA Democratic Alliance , two from MKP uMkhonto weSizwe Party, one from EFF Economic Freedom Fighters and other parties two. Representatives to be recommended and must report back to National Assembly no later than 31 October 2025."
The Chairperson of the Police Portfolio Committee Ian Cameron spoke about how the joint committees suggested focus of the ad hoc committee.
