CAPE TOWN - Possible perjury charges are on the table as the Police Ad Hoc Committee refines its almost 800-page draft Parliamentary report.
Political parties have formalised their submissions regarding alleged false testimonies by KwaZulu-Natal Violence Monitor Mary de Haas and Cedric Nkabinde, embattled Police Minister Senzo Mchunu's former chief of staff.
The Committee is expected to wrap up their work by 11 September and submit their findings to the National Assembly.

MPs at the time of Mary de Haas’ appearance before the Police Ad Hoc Committee in November argued that her correspondence with Mchunu on the disbandment of the Political Killings Task Team had a significant influence on his decision to push ahead with the move.
Some MPs highlighted the mismatch between the technical support that was made available to the committee and the practical demands of the inquiry.
