The Ad Hoc Committee rejected attorney Sarah-Jane Trents request to remove her oral testimony, citing her voluntary presence, legal representation, and continued engagement. The committees legal advisor, Andile Tetyana, emphasized the lack of a psychologist report and the potential flood of similar requests. MPs from various parties agreed, stating that Trent should seek a court review if she wants her testimony struck. Additionally, the committee dismissed a challenge to WhatsApp messages from businessman Vusimuzi Matlalas phone, as he willingly testified and engaged with the messages. Acting Police Minister Firoz Cachalia approved the committees access to a classified report on suspended intel boss Imtiaz Fazel, furthering the ongoing investigation.
