De Haas shared some details about her critique of the Political Killings' Task Team, interactions with members of the SAPS, and government officials.
She accused former Police Minister Bheki Cele of repeatedly meddling in police operations.
De Haas revealed that a report on the death of former ANC councillor Sindiso Magaqa was sent to Cele, bypassing the National Police Commissioner as protocol required.
De Haas has been a vocal critic of the PKTT since its inception.
She doesn't know what criteria the KZN Political Killings Task Team used to investigate dockets.
De Haas says she's not sure whether some of the cases taken over by the task team can be defined as 'political.'
The Political Killings Task Team members also abused their power when handling cases according to De Haas.
