Witness Dispute Delays Police Corruption Probe ClosureThe committee faces a deadline this February amid heated disagreements over summoning President Ramaphosa and other key figures.
- The parliamentary committee investigating police corruption is nearing its deadline as MPs clash over which witnesses to call.
- The uMkhonto weSizwe party accuses the ANC of blocking President Ramaphosa and former Police Minister Mbalula from testifying.
- The ANC counters that former President Jacob Zuma and Busisiwe Mkhwebane should also be summoned if Ramaphosa appears.
- Disagreement remains on whether Ramaphosa must testify in person, with the ANC advocating for a written submission instead.
We are sitting here and we don’t know whether President Ramaphosa agreed to the disbanding of the political killings task team, or disagreed. Where is he standing on the matter?— Vusi Shongwe, member of the uMkhonto weSizwe (MK) Party, during the discussion over the witness list in Parliament.
