O'Sullivan to continue testimony before Parly committee probing police graft

Forensic investigator Paul O'Sullivan returns to Parliament on Thursday to continue giving evidence before the ad hoc committee investigating allegations of police corruption.

O'Sullivan's appearance will be followed by former acting Police Commissioner Khomotso Phahlane, who also has unfinished business with the committee.

Their appearances come soon after information peddler Brown Mogotsi's evidence on Tuesday, where he was grilled by members of Parliament (MPs) about his credentials as an intelligence asset and businessman.

O'Sullivan returns to face another round of questioning from the ad hoc committee following his appearance earlier in February.

O'Sullivan, who was defiant and clashed with MPs during his first appearance, can expect to be questioned further about his links to former Independent Police Investigative Directorate (IPID) head Robert McBride and how he tried to influence police matters.

Phahlane will also take the stand for a second time after requesting more time to explain allegations against him.

During his testimony, Phahlane tried to defend his record and also challenged his removal from office in 2017.

Phahlane also alleged that the request for him to "step aside" as acting minister by the then-Police Minister Fikile Mbalula was unlawful.

The committee is expected to conclude its hearing on 31 March 2026.
