Paul O'Sullivan in hot water after allegedly threatening Cedrick Nkabinde

Nkabinde revealed the threatening message while giving evidence at the parliamentary inquiry into allegations made by KwaZulu-Natal Police Commissioner Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi. After one of the breaks, Nkabinde asked to read into the inquiry’s record the message he allegedly received from O'Sullivan.

“Get ready, you lying crook. I am going to make sure you spend some years in prison. You were bribed by Mkhwanazi and Mapula,’ read part of the message that warned Nkabinde that he was guaranteed to pay for his crimes.
