O’Sullivan slammed for showing ‘disrespect’ to SA

THE uMkhonto weSizwe Party's (MKP) Sibonelo Nomvalo has said that Paul O'Sullivan does not respect anyone in South Africa, including Parliament.

Nomvalo was speaking on the sidelines of Parliament's Ad Hoc Committee investigating allegations made by KwaZulu-Natal Police Commissioner Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi, where they heard presentations from civil groups, which he said “were irrelevant and out of context”.

Accountability Now and the African Policing Civilian Oversight Forum (APCOF) made presentations at the Parliament's Ad Hoc Committee, where they appeared not as witnesses, but to give insights into the criminal justice system and make recommendations.

The decision for their appearance before the committee came from the public submissions that were made to the committee.

“I think it was off context because we must remember we're not a portfolio committee on justice. We're not a constitutional review committee which accepts public submissions, which seek to influence policy reforms or legislative reforms,’ Nomvalo said.
