Parliament's Ad Hoc Committee prepares to hear testimony from Paul O'Sullivan

Paul O'Sullivan postponed testimony due to safety fears after threats linked to KwaZulu-Natal police commissioner; Parliament secured strict protections for his appearance.

  • On Tuesday, Paul O'Sullivan will appear before Parliament's Ad Hoc Committee after Soviet Lekganyane assured strict security measures for his attendance.
  • Citing safety fears, O'Sullivan said KwaZulu‑Natal police commissioner Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi's statements put his life at risk, but he recalled replying, `It will be a great pleasure to testify because there are things that need to be out there.`
  • Some MPs pressed to summon O'Sullivan as the Speaker of the National Assembly requested further consultations, signaling ongoing institutional coordination.
  • The chair said a solution has been found without subjecting Parliament to potential litigation, and the committee noted it could have issued subpoenas, which the ANC Chief Whip welcomed avoiding.
  • After missing last week's scheduled appearance, the committee is eager to secure the forensic investigator's evidence amid its investigation, citing serious security concerns.
