Overview

• MPs halted day one over a “supplementary” filing tied to the Madlanga Commission, then reconvened with a revised statement and swore in Lt‑Gen Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi to begin testimony.
• Mkhwanazi testified that IDAC’s arrest of Crime Intelligence head Lt‑Gen Dumisani Khumalo was a project to stop criminal investigations in Gauteng, directly challenging IDAC leadership.
• He told MPs he holds recordings and other records that could implicate senior officials and warned some material should be heard privately to avoid compromising state operations.
• He cited earlier controversies about Crime Intelligence secret funds, including a perimeter wall at Nathi Mthethwa’s home and the leasing of safe houses that may benefit insiders.
• On day two, MPs began questioning on his family’s safety, businessman Brown Mogotsi’s alleged access to sensitive police information, and the contested letter to disband the Political Killings Task Team, with Senzo Mchunu still on special leave.
