Member of Parliament Adams

In the Mokwele matter, Member of Parliament Adams initially reported at police stations before escalating the same complaint via section 27 referral to IDAC.

“Member of Parliament Adams goes to a police station to lay a complaint against General Khumalo and others relating to the Mokwele appointment . He does that . And then he decides to refer to IDAC in terms of section 27 , the same complaint . He completes an affidavit and he submits it to IDAC in terms of section 27 .”

Section 7(1) of the referenced Act, which defined 'specified offence', has been deleted, creating ambiguity about what constitutes a specified offence under section 27.

“section 7 (1 ) has been deleted. It used to contain what is a specified offence. Now it was deleted. So when IDAC receives this referral, in terms of section 27 from Member of Parliament Adams, what does it determine to be a specified offence”
