It was yet another week of explosive testimony and drama as more witnesses appeared before Parliament's Ad Hoc Committee established to probe allegations of criminality, political interference and corruption in the criminal and justice system.

The nation's top prosecutor, Advocate Shamila Batohi, made her highly anticipated appearance, and indeed faced a grilling from committee members on the state of the National Prosecuting Authority, and its ability or failure to tackle high-level corruption.

Her testimony painted a bleak picture, with Batohi herself admitting to immense pressure and the perception that the state is "powerless" against organised crime.

And the week's proceedings were not without controversy. The testimony of side lined Police Minister Senzo Mchunu's chief of staff Cedrick Nkabinde quickly descended into chaos, as committee members accused him of deliberately misleading them and then dramatically ejected him from the sitting, ordering him to go rework his affidavit.

And the fallout was immediate, as the EFF proceeded to open a case of perjury against him, following his admission that parts of his affidavit were "thumb-sucked."
Let's break down the key moments from the testimonies of Advocate Shamila Batohi and Mr. Cedrick Nkabinde, with our guests - Political Analyst Dale McKinley, and legal Analyst Bophelo Seleke.
