Parly committee probing police corruption meeting to discuss its progress thus far

The Parliament ad hoc committee investigating police corruption is set to meet on Monday to discuss its interim report on the work it has completed on the first 16 days of hearings.

The committee will also receive a report from its evidence leader and technical team on outstanding consultations with witnesses still to appear as well as its programme for the next few weeks.

The committee's next witness will be the national director of public prosecutions, Shamila Batohi, who will take the stand on Tuesday.

Monday's meeting follows the appearance of Investigating Directorate Against Corruption (IDAC) head Andrea Johnson, who testified on Thursday.

The meeting will be mostly housekeeping before it resumes hearings with the appearance of Batohi.

As the head of the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA), Batohi also has oversight control over IDAC, which falls within the NPA.

Batohi will likely face questions on submissions on how prosecutors in the criminal justice system are compromised and face possible outside influence.

The kidnapping and robbery of IDAC’s head of operations, Matthews Sesoko, on Friday is also expected to be put to Batohi.

Johnson confirmed that Sesoko had dealt with the investigation into the Crime Intelligence officials, including its head, Dumisani Khumalo, and his co-accused, who were arrested on fraud and corruption charges earlier in 2025.

Senzo Mchunu's chief of staff, Cedric Nkabinde, will be the committee's next witness on Thursday.
