Mkhwanazi calls for parliamentary probe into Paul O’Sullivan

KwaZulu-Natal police commissioner Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi has called on Parliament to probe forensic investigator Paul O’Sullivan. Mkhwanazi was testifying on Wednesday before Parliament’s Ad Hoc committee looking into concerns of national security.

In a response to questions from EFF leader Julius Malema, Mkhwanazi said he was told by Police Minister Senzo Mchunu’s chief of staff, Cedric Nkabinde, that operations of IPID were planned, coordinated and executed at O’Sullivan’s house.

“I’m saying this to the members, it is there, at which Mr Nkabinde, who is now a chief of staff at the office, that operations of IPID were planned, coordinated and executed at Paul O’Sullivan’s house, that was his words to me. So, I’m going to request I am to require such be investigated in detail because the phone will put McBride, in this place, put Paul O’Sullivan in this place, Nkabinde in this place, and others. When that investigation is concluded, nobody can deny it because we will know exactly all of them were operating, guided by Paul O’Sullivan.”
