Johannesburg – The Madlanga Commission takes an interesting turn tomorrow, Monday, 20 October 2025, when it resumes with the live-streaming of testimonies from three witnesses whose identity will not be revealed.
The Judicial Commission of Inquiry into Criminality, Political Interference and Corruption in the Criminal Justice System has announced that it will hold hearings partially in camera from 20 to 22 October 2025.
The commission said in a statement on Sunday, 19 October 2025, that witnesses A, B, and C will take the stand off camera – from a remote location – but with voices audible.
“The witnesses will testify in relation to their experiences as detectives investigating crimes related to the criminal cartels which form the subject matter of the Commission’s investigations, and to the attempts that have been made to interfere with these investigations,” said Commission Spokesperson Jeremy Michaels.
“The public and media will be able to access the auditorium at the Brigitte Mabandla Justice College, where the hearings will be taking place.”
Michaels said the proceedings will be livestreamed and the witnesses’ exhibits will be displayed live on screen as the witnesses testify.
“The transcript of the witnesses’ testimony will be publicly available after the witnesses have finished testifying,” he said.
Meanwhile, Parliament’s Ad Hoc Committee to Investigate Allegations made by South African Police Service’s KwaZulu-Natal Provincial Commissioner Lieutenant General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi will continue this week with members posing questions to suspended Police Minister Senzo Mchunu.
