Former Independent Directorate Against Corruption (Idac) head Andrea Johnson denied any involvement in the investigation of the Political Killings Task Team (PKTT) during a hearing at the Madlanga Commission, according to reports. Johnson claimed she was unaware that her directorate had investigated the PKTT, even after signing a summons for related records (mg.co.za).
She was questioned about why the PKTT found its way into an Idac probe, with Adv Andrea Johnson pointing to Dylan Perumal as a potential source of information (sundayworld.co.za). The commission is examining Idac's mandate and allegations of selective prosecution.
Johnson’s resignation did not stop the ongoing probe into her actions, as the investigation continues despite her departure from the role (news.google.com). The hearing highlighted tensions around the motives behind the PKTT investigation and the integrity of the probe.
The commission is also scrutinizing whether the investigation was politically motivated, with Johnson denying any wrongdoing. The case remains under review as officials seek clarity on the circumstances surrounding the probe.
