Cedrick Nkabinde, the chief of staff to suspended Police Minister Senzo Mchunu, appeared before Parliament’s ad hoc committee today probing corruption and political interference in the police ministry. He told MPs he has “nothing to hide” as he faced questions about his role in the disbanding of the Political Killings Task Team and concerns over his rapid elevation to senior office.

His testimony follows a raid on his home and forms part of a wider inquiry into alleged interference in criminal investigations linked to political violence. The committee is examining claims that senior officials in the ministry undermined policing operations, with its findings expected to shape ongoing reform efforts in the justice system.
