The level of specialisation in the Political Killings Task Team (PKTT) did not justify any disbandment decision if solving high-profile murders was the priority, the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry has heard.

- Jarryd Westerdale

Head of Crime Intelligence General Dumisani Khumalo told the commission yesterday how the unit was formed and why regular units would be unsuitable for the objective.

Among the last pieces of evidence given, Khumalo claimed President Cyril Ramaphosa was allegedly on board with dissolving the PKTT.

The general was responding to questions about the letter sent to disband the PKTT, when he outlined how officers were chosen for duty.
