Description: Parliament's Ad Hoc Committee investigating the allegations made by KZN Police Commissioner Lt-Gen Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi met on Thursday, 1 October 2026 to continue deliberating its preliminary draft report, and the fight over the future of the Investigating Directorate Against Corruption (IDAC) is still the sharpest divide in the room. In this episode we break down: The 18:00 virtual session on the draft report Attendance concerns raised by the MK Party, with deliberations starting with only seven members on the platform Where the parties stand on IDAC: the DA wants it disbanded and replaced by an independent body outside the NPA, while the ANC's Mdumiseni Ntuli argues for dealing with the people inside rather than closing the institution. ActionSA's Dereleen James wants stronger oversight, monitoring and vetting, and the EFF's Julius Malema says it should not be dissolved Chairperson Soviet Lekganyane's statement that no final decision has been made on recommending IDAC's disestablishment What comes next: the committee is expected to finalise and adopt its report by the end of October ⏱️ Timestamps 00:00 Intro 00:00 What happened on 1 October 00:00 The attendance problem 00:00 The IDAC divide: party by party 00:00 What the final report could mean 00:00 Wrap-up 📄 Sources Parliament of South Africa media alert and committee news statement (1 October 2026) SABC News (1 October 2026) TimesLIVE (30 September 2026) Committee documents: https://www.parliament.gov.za/ad-hoc-... 🔔 Subscribe for daily coverage of the Madlanga Commission, the Ad Hoc Committee, the Section 89 Inquiry and the court cases that matter. #MkhwanaziAllegations #AdHocCommittee #IDAC #SouthAfrica #Parliament #Accountability
