KwaZulu-Natal Police Commissioner Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi officiates the passing out parade of new police Constables at the South African Police Service (SAPS) Academy Ulundi on August 15, 2025.
African National Congress (ANC) Chief Whip Mdumiseni Ntuli says that the row over investigating classified information will not disrupt the ad hoc committee established to probe KwaZulu-Natal Police Commissioner Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi’s corruption allegations.
This follows a meeting of the committee on Monday, during which Ntuli opposed dealing with classified information.
The uMkhonto weSizwe Party (MKP) and Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) rebutted his concerns.
Ntuli says that the matter has been settled.
He says, “The matter was settled in the meeting on Monday. We met on Monday the whole day, we’re meeting on Friday again to receive the consolidated terms of reference after our discussion.”
“The committee agrees that we don’t have a mandate to deal with classified information, but there are existing protocols in Parliament through which, if and when in the course of our work somebody brings on board classified information, we should channel that to the relevant authority, which in this case is the Joint Standing Committee on Intelligence.”
Ntuli adds: “So that debate was settled, it was a populous stance and a lack of knowledge from the people who were saying we’re advancing this position because we’re hiding something, we have nothing to hide.”
