FORMER Independent Police Investigative Directorate (IPID) head Robert McBride is sworn in before testifying to Parliament's ad hoc committee investigating corruption, political interference, and criminal infiltration in South Africa's criminal justice system, especially within the SAPS. McBride confirmed his ongoing ANC membership and declined to disclose his current employment, citing the National Strategic Intelligence Act. He faced questions about his IPID tenure, links to private investigator Paul O'Sullivan, and reports of laughing during the hearing. The inquiry follows claims by senior police officials of systemic misconduct and aims to restore trust in law enforcement amid ongoing concerns about corruption.
