The Ad Hoc Committee Chair, Soviet Lekganyane, has dismissed social media reports alleging the committee's draft findings exonerated individuals, calling them premature and gullible.

The committee, investigating allegations against KwaZulu-Natal Police Commissioner Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi, emphasized its role as an oversight body, not a court.

The draft report noted cautious language due to incomplete or contested evidence, finding executive accountability issues with suspended Police Minister Senzo Mchunu but no proven corruption.

Referrals were made against suspended Deputy National Commissioner Shadrack Sibiya, but no findings were made against him or others like Investigative Directorate head Andrea Johnson.Critics, including MPs like Fadiel Adams, accused the report of diluting evidence, while Lekganyane urged public trust in the process.The report faces scrutiny for its findings, with calls to allow the committee to complete its work before public release.
