Private investigator Paul O’Sullivan testifies before Parliament’s Ad Hoc Committee.
Parliament’s Ad Hoc Committee evidence leader Advocate Norman Arendse says private investigator Paul O’Sullivan has confirmed his appearance before the committee on Thursday after his walkout last week.
Earlier, Parliament’s legal service unit said it had already informed O’Sullivan to return to the Ad Hoc Committee looking into concerns around national security.
Last week, O’Sullivan walked out of the proceedings, leaving committee members stunned.
The committee is investigating allegations of criminal infiltration, corruption and political interference made by KwaZulu-Natal Police Commissioner Lieutenant General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi.
Legal service adviser Andile Tetyane says that should O’Sullivan not comply with the invitation, he will be summoned.
“We can confirm that on Friday, the 27th of February 2026, we addressed correspondence to Mr O’Sullivan inviting him to appear before this committee on Thursday 5 March 2026, as he was still under examination when he decided to abandon the committee proceedings without the permission of the chairperson.”
“Chairperson, I can also add that Mr O’Sullivan has been put to terms in the we have informed him to indicate to you his willingness to appear before the committee by no later than today, 12 midday. We can also confirm that in the event that Mr O’Sullivan does not comply with the Committee’s invitation for him to appear before it, a summons has already been prepared,” adds Tetyane.
Meanwhile, last week, the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) laid a criminal charge against the private investigator.
