Paul O'Sullivan, Forensic Investigator, Refuses to Provide,

Описание: Forensic investigator Paul O'Sullivan recently caused a stir in the South African Parliament by refusing to disclose specific personal details during his testimony before an ad hoc committee on February 10, 2026.
His refusal centered on the following points:
Pre-1990 Personal History: O'Sullivan explicitly stated in his affidavit that he would not engage in discussions regarding his family background, education, or business interests prior to 1990.
Specific Family Details: While mentioning he has seven children, he refused to disclose their names or locations.
Reasons for Refusal: He cited severe security risks, claiming there have been 10 attempts on his life over the last 15 years, including being shot three times in 1996. He argued that "criminal elements" use personal information to target him and his family.
Parliamentary Pushback: Committee members, including EFF leader Julius Malema, rejected these conditions. They argued that his oath to tell the "whole truth" required him to answer all questions and that his past could be relevant to allegations of "capturing" the criminal justice system.
Committee Ruling: Committee chair Soviet Lekganyane ultimately rejected O'Sullivan's request for immunity from pre-1990 questioning, ruling that members were entitled to ask about that period since O'Sullivan's own statement referenced events from that era.
O'Sullivan remained defiant, stating he would not provide the information even if asked "a million questions".
