Ad Hoc Committee members seeks third extension beyond 20 February.

Members of the Parliament's Ad Hoc Committee probing criminal infiltration in the justice system propose a third extension of its deadline, as the deadline for the committee to conclude its work ends on 20 February. Meanwhile, the Speaker of the National Assembly, Thoko Didiza, has welcomed the Ad Hoc Committee’s decision to continue engaging with Mr. Brown Mogotsi and Mr. Paul O’Sullivan, following her guidance that further substantive engagement be pursued before resorting to the issuing of summonses.  The Speaker in a statement says she's pleased that this approach has resulted in one of these witnesses availing himself to appear physically before the Ad Hoc Committee to testify from Tuesday, without the need for summonses to be issued.
