O’Sullivan is giving evidence before the SAPS Ad Hoc Committee on Tuesday.

Under oath, O’Sullivan stated that in his 40 years in South Africa and he has never performed any foreign agent activities and that his loyalty is to South Africa.

O’Sullivan explained that holding multiple passports was purely for travel convenience and emphasized that he has never supported any foreign government.

He also confirmed that his NGO, Forensics for Justice, receives no foreign funding and is fully transparent about donations, which are mostly small contributions from ordinary citizens.

A major focus is his multiple citizenships including Ireland as he had Irish parents, the UK because he was boorn there, and South Africa where he was naturalised as he has been living here for over 40 years.

Under questioning, O’Sullivan said:

“I can categorically state that I have not performed any foreign agent activities in 40 years, and in fact my loyalty is to South Africa.”

When he was asked about multiple passports he said:

“It’s very easy to have foreign passports because it’s very convenient to be able to travel around the world. The multiple passports story is a convenience.”

And on foreign funding for his NGO:

“We do not receive any foreign funding… From 2015 until present, anybody can look at our accounts, most years we’re lucky if we get R100,000 in donations for a year.”

O’Sullivan’s testimony comes amid ongoing investigations into senior policing figures and allegations of corruption, including the case of former Police Commissioner Jackie Selebi.

O’Sullivan’s affidavit contained a condition on paragraph 3 where he stated that he will not answer anything beyond 1990.

This angered most of the honourable members from Umkhonto Wesizwe Party, Economic Freedom Fighters and ActionSA.

O’Sullivan told the AdHocCommittee he won’t answer questions about events before 1990 because of serious personal security concerns, citing multiple attempts on his life.

He argued that providing such information could expose personal details and put him and his family at risk, which he is entitled to protect.

“I made it clear that I’m not going to be providing any of that information, it’s just not going to be advanced and we can sit here all day and you can ask me a million questions I will not provide that information,’ he said.

Economic Freedom Fighter (EFF) leader Julius Malema was the first one to object the condition put forward by O’Sullivan.

“He can’t say to us we can’t ask him anything about things that happened before 90 what if the business you are talking about started engaging in wrongdoing before 1990,” he said.

MKP David Skosana also jumped in and question his background.

“This affidavit does not have an introduction. We don’t know the man seating before. There is nothing talking about where he was born, where he grew up and the schools he went to. Nothing. Even you chair, you don’t know this man,” he said.

ActionSA’s Dereleen James said: “Every witness that has come before us had a CV. Where is the CV of the witness? He can’t just come here and tell us to dance to his tune.”
