National Police Commissioner General Fannie Masemola testified before parliament, expressing concern over the disbandment of the Political Killings Task Team, which he believes interfered with key investigations. The decision was made on December 31, 2024, while he was on leave, and without discussion. Masemola questioned the timing, as it followed arrests and raids in early December. ANC lawmaker Khusela Diko challenged the lack of evidence linking former police minister Senzo Mchunu to drug cartels. Masemola confirmed approving a media briefing by KwaZulu-Natal police commissioner Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi, which went beyond the planned scope. President Cyril Ramaphosa skipped an in-person appearance and provided written answers instead. The ad hoc committee continues to investigate these claims to clarify the facts and maintain oversight on police operations.
