Members of Parliament's Ad Hoc committe established to look into wide-ranging allegations of criminal infiltration, corruption and political interference in the criminal justice system THIS WEEK grilled Police Commissioner Fannie Masemola and KwaZulu-Natal police boss Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi. The committee is focusing on Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi's explosive allegations, including political and criminal interference in the SAPS and related corruption; the disbandment of the Political Killings Task Team; and allegations against MPs. The objective is largely to assess the failure of oversight and the need for policy or legal reform. In contrast to the ongoing Madlanga Commission, each MP is accorded ample time to pose questions to the witnesses. While some have welcomed the intense nature of the grilling by some parliamentarians others have registered reservations and have questioned the style of cross examining which has tended to highlight the political nature of Parliament's ad hoc committee.
