The Parliamentary ad-hoc committee investigating allegations made by KwaZulu-Natal Police Commissioner Lieutenant-General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi now has until November 28 to finalise its work.

National Assembly Speaker Thoko Didiza has granted the extension.

The ad hoc committee met on Wednesday to receive reports on the legal opinion on the participation of certain members, its request for an extension of the committee’s lifespan and the identification of further witnesses, among other things.

The committee was initially given until the end of October to finalise its work.

So far, 325 submissions have been received.

The deadline for input from the public on Mkhwanazi’s allegations is Friday.

The committee said only submissions which relate to the scope of the enquiry would be considered.

“Written submissions, including supporting documentation, intended to place evidence before the committee, must be provided under oath or affirmation. Individuals or organisations requiring assistance in preparing a sworn statement or submitting evidence are encouraged to notify the committee so that appropriate support can be arranged,” it said.

The oral hearings are scheduled to continue Friday with the testimony of suspended Police Minister Senzo Mchunu.

Next week, the committee is expected to hear from former Police Minister General Bheki Cele.

The committee also finalised a list of high-ranking South African Police Service officials that would be called to appear before the committee.
