Mkhwanazi has asked parliament to allow him to complete his discussions with Madlanga’s commission before he can appear before the ad hoc committee. “We are happy that [the Madlanga commission is] knowledgeable of the fact that the ad hoc needs to have Mkhwanazi appear, and they are willing to ensure cooperation in that regard. The ad hoc committee elected the ANC’s Soviet Lekganyane as chairperson and Norman Arendse as evidence leader. Last week Arendse told the committee that it would have to wait until the Madlanga commission finalised its consultations with Mkwanazi. So, in any event, we will only be able to consult with General Mkwanazi once they’ve finalised their consultations with him.”In July Mkwanazi alleged that senior police leadership and politicians had been captured by criminal syndicates.
