Suspended Police Minister Senzo Mchunu's Chief of Staff Cedric Nkabinde returns to face the parliament ad hoc committee probing police corruption again today, after MP's sent him away for submitting inconsistent information last week.
Nkabinde appeared before the committee on Thursday, but his hearing ended prematurely over inconsistencies in his evidence and sworn statement.
His appearance follows yesterday's submission by KZN based crime activist Mary De Haas who was grilled over the letters she wrote to Mchunu calling on him to disband the political killings task team (PKTT).

Cedric Nkabinde's hearing last week was abandoned halfway after he got his dates wrong in his sworn statement and in his oral testimony.
The dates were elated to when he first came into contact with controversial businessman Brown Mogotsi as well as Senzo Mchunu's travelling dates after he became the police minister.
Nkabinde had also informed the committee about his close relationship with KZN police commissioner Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi.
Evidence leader Norman Arendse said last night that Nkabinde made a new submission.
Act: I would request to you that members bring the original Nkabinde statement this evening while we were sitting here, we received what they now call a supplementary statement which is not the same.
Nkabinde's appearance will be followed by police head of procurement, general Molefe Fani, on Thursday.
