Harrison has also shared with the Madlanga Commission her deep concerns over a lack of clarity on the disbandment of the task team.
She has also warned of the possibility of political violence during next year’s local government elections.
Harrison says that her concern is based on reports of a letter containing the instruction of the embattled Police Minister Senzo Mchunu to disband the KwaZulu-Natal political killings task team in 2024.
