Madlanga Commission: Media Challenge In-Camera Testimony Application
The Madlanga Commission of Inquiry has been postponed after two media houses challenged the decision to hold witness testimonies behind closed doors.
The commission is investigating allegations made by Lieutenant-General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi on 6 July 2025. Proceedings were scheduled to resume on Monday, 13 October 2025, after a week-long break, but have been halted due to the media houses' interdict.
A journalist with over a decade of experience reporting on the South African political landscape, crime, and social issues, Byron Pillay, is closely following the developments.
No statement from the commission has been released regarding the postponement.
