Madlanga Commission moves to shield Crime Intelligence witness in closed‑door hearing

By GhanaSummary NewsroomSouth Africa

In papers filed on 1 October 2026, the Commission’s evidence leaders requested that the testimony of Witness S, a former Crime Intelligence officer, be shielded from public view.

If the application succeeds, the Commission will hear his testimony behind closed doors, with only Commissioners, evidence leaders, and authorised attorneys present.

The Madlanga Commission of Inquiry into Criminality, Political Interference and Corruption in the Criminal Justice System has applied to have a key witness’s evidence heard in camera, citing risks to national security and informant safety.
