TikToker @ongiegusha posted a clip imitating KwaZulu-Natal Police Commissioner Lieutenant-General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi. The skit focused on his appearance before Parliament’s Ad Hoc Committee during the week.

Mkhwanazi had taken direct aim at National Coloured Congress MP Fadiel Adams during testimony. Mzansi watched the impression and could not get enough of it.

The committee was formed to probe serious allegations about organised crime in South Africa. Mkhwanazi claimed criminal networks had deeply infiltrated the country’s criminal justice system. The hearings ran through late 2025 and stretched well into the early months of 2026. They produced some of the most dramatic parliamentary exchanges South Africans had seen.

A committee that gripped the nation

The Ad Hoc Committee became political theatre, unlike anything Parliament had delivered before. Mkhwanazi’s original testimony in July 2025 made explosive allegations against top police officials. He accused Adams of recklessly handling classified documents that implicated senior SAPS members.

Adams later hit back by laying criminal charges of perjury against the general. This came after Mkhwanazi retracted part of his testimony relating to former Police Minister Bheki Cele. Mkhwanazi responded to the charges by telling the media Adams must ‘bring it on’.

During his recent appearance, Mkhwanazi used that moment to deliver a pointed lecture about the value of education. The general told the committee that reading is critical and that missing it might cost people dearly.
