O'Sullivan says the man hailed as a rare whistleblowing cop has in fact been part of the problem since 2012, when he unlawfully unsuspended Richard Mdluli on what O'Sullivan says were Jacob Zuma's instructions — then covered it up for eight years. A whistleblower, he told the commission, needs clean hands. He also argues Mkwanazi's balaclava-clad press conference of July 2025 was timed to deflect from the arrest of seven senior crime intelligence officers two days earlier.

And South 32 shares jump 10% as Alcoa commits $5.5bn to South African industrial assets.","meta_description":"Forensic investigator Paul O'Sullivan spent over six hours giving sworn testimony to the Madlanga Commission on Monday — and his argument cuts straight th…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":1940,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/biznews-radio-9869/episodes/biznews-edge-a-whistleblower-needs-clean-hands-paul-o-sullivan-s-case-against-general-mkwanazi/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/biznews-radio-9869/biznews-edge-a-whistleblower-needs-clean-hands-paul-o-sullivan-s-case-against-general-mkwanazi.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
