The party submitted its election lists to the Independent Electoral Commission of South Africa last week.
The party’s leader, Dr Mamphela Ramphele, said she was “extremely pleased” to announce that well-known and respected forensic consultant, Paul O’Sullivan, had joined Agang SA and was on their national assembly list.
O’Sullivan has over 37 years’ experience in law-enforcement, including diverse areas such as counter-espionage, counter-terrorism, counter trafficking (drugs, weapons and human), as well local law-enforcement, including syndicated crime, such as fraud, robbery and murder. He is also one of the world’s leading security experts, the party said in a statement.
O’Sullivan has worked on some high profile cases, including that which brought former head of Interpol and the South African Police Service Jackie Selebi, and Czech fugitive Radovan Krejcir, to book.
O’Sullivan will be joining a number of candidates with a legal background, including John McConnachie, Andrew Gasnolar, and Mike Tshishonga who, as a former deputy director-general of justice, fought against and exposed corruption in the liquidations industry, as well as the South African justice system itself.
According to Ramphele, the Agang SA candidates list represents all the experience, gender diversity, skills and commitments required to turn the country around.
