National Assembly committees chairman Cedric Frolick has asked portfolio committees with oversight of ministers and departments implicated in the state capture allegations to urgently investigate them and report back to the house.

EFF chief whip Floyd Shivambu and United Democratic Movement leader Bantu Holomisa also stressed the importance of having one inquiry by an ad hoc committee as this would give a clearer picture of the entirety of state capture.
