Ramaphosa’s name surfaces at Ad Hoc Committee


President Cyril Ramaphosa could still be asked to appear before Parliament’s Ad Hoc committee, investigating allegations of criminal infiltration, corruption and political interference in the criminal justice system, to account before lawmakers on the disbandment of the Political Killings Task Team (PKTT).

Committee chair Soviet Lekganyane says the President’s name, along with senior police generals, will be referred to Parliament’s legal team for assessment. This could ultimately determine whether Ramaphosa is asked to appear before the committee or respond in writing.

“These three names; General Khan, General Moodley, and the name of the president, will be forwarded to the legal team for assessment. And the legal team, based on the materiality of facts, that would have been presented before the committee, will then conduct that assessment of these potential witnesses and come back and report to the committee, including suggestions on whether they will want them to make a physical appearance or written submissions,” says Lekganyane.
