Legal expert Elton Hart has emphasized the constitutional concerns raised by MPs regarding a supplementary affidavit in the parliamentary process during the Ad Hoc Committee Hearings into Allegations Made by Lieutenant General Mkhwanazi.

Parliament's ad hoc committee set up to investigate allegations around national security, adjourned earlier today for a short while to sort out issues raised around the statement of KwaZulu-Natal Police commissioner Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi. Members of the committee took issue with the evidence leader, advocate Norman Arendse SC, calling Mkhwanazi's statement a supplementary statement to the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry, that was submitted to the committee. The committee was set up to investigate the wide-ranging claims of criminal infiltration, corruption, and political interference within the criminal justice system, made by Lieutenant General (Lt Gen) Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi.  Meanwhile, EFF leader Julius Malema, has raised firm objections to Parliament's Ad Hoc Committee proceeding without a formal statement from Lieutenant General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi. Malema called the move unconstitutional and fundamentally wrong. Sakina Kamwendo spoke to legal expert, Elton Hart, attorney at the University of Johannesburg ' Law Clinic
