The Madlanga Commission will resume public hearings today, with alleged criminal mastermind Vusumizi ‘Cat’ Matlala expected to appear before the Commission this week.
The Commission noted that it has, for the past few weeks, been hearing in-camera evidence as the evidence was not “suitable for airing publicly due to ongoing investigations and/or the confidential nature of the material”.
“The Commission also held a two-day seminar in preparation for the drafting of its final report, which is due to be delivered to President Cyril Ramaphosa by 25 January 2027.
“Mr Vusimuzi Matlala will be on the witness stand on 9 and 10 November 2026,” the commission said in a short statement.
Following Matlala’s testimony, numerous other witnesses are scheduled to appear under subpoena, including Police Minister Senzo Mchunu, Lieutenant-General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi and Lieutenant-General Dumisani Khumalo.
“The Commission would like to remind the public that it is not accepting any new submissions, although the Commission will continue to accept information which can assist in matters which are already receiving the attention of the evidence leaders and investigators,” the statement concluded. – SAnews.gov.za
