A special parliamentary committee will meet on Thursday to investigate claims made by South African National Defence Force (SANDF) General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi.
The ad hoc committee includes MPs from various parties: Molapi Soviet Lekganyane (ANC), Glynnis Breytenbach (DA), Ian Cameron (DA), Julius Malema (EFF), Mangaqa Mncwango (NFP), Sibonelo Nomvelo (ANC), Xola Nqola (ANC), Mdumiseni Ntuli (ANC), Khusela Sangoni (ANC), Ashley Sauls (ANC), and David Skosana (ANC).
The nature of the allegations has not been publicly disclosed, but the committee is expected to review evidence and hear testimony related to the claims. The findings could have significant implications depending on the outcome.
The investigation comes amid heightened scrutiny of South Africa’s security forces. Parliament has not yet indicated a timeline for when the committee will conclude its work or release findings.
