The Madlanga Commission of Inquiry has stated that its intention is not to disrupt the operations of the South African Police Service (SAPS). The clarification comes as the high-profile probe into criminality and corruption within the justice system prepares to begin its work.
The commission confirmed it is following due process in handling sensitive information, including protecting the contents of 121 case dockets it has obtained. A key part of its work will involve corroborating the evidence within these dockets.
In a related matter, the commission noted that Parliament’s separate Ad-Hoc committee retains the power to summon its own witnesses, which could include KwaZulu-Natal Police Commissioner Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi. This indicates that the parliamentary and judicial processes, while separate, may run concurrently as they investigate the serious allegations.
