Скачать или смотреть DIDIZA ON DEFENSE: Subpoenas BLOCKED, Parliament SPLITS Over O’Sullivan + Mogotsi

South African Parliament is under pressure after subpoenas were blocked in the SAPS corruption probe, with Thoko Didiza pushed onto the defensive as claims of “shielding witnesses” spread fast. In this Mzansi Breakdown episode, we unpack what the ad hoc committee wanted, why the subpoenas for Paul O’Sullivan and Brown Mogotsi became the flashpoint, and how Parliament argues the legal threshold was not met while insisting the process must withstand court review.

We also break down the political split, with the ANC defending procedure and caution, and the opposition, including EFF Malema and the MK Party, accusing Parliament of protecting powerful figures. We look at the core dispute, in-person testimony vs virtual testimony, and why that choice matters for accountability, public trust, and the committee’s ability to compel answers under the Powers and Privileges Act.
