Bafana Sindane files urgent application to block Madlanga subpoena
Sindane is also seeking to prevent the commission from using the contents of his cellphone.
Taxi industry figure Oupa 'Bafana' Sindane is seeking an emergency injunction at the North Gauteng High Court in Pretoria to halt his appearance before the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry. Sindane is also requesting that the commission refrain from utilizing the contents of his cellphone, which was confiscated as part of the Kwaggafontein extortion and money-laundering investigation.
The commission is set to hear a motion to postpone Sindane's testimony today. Sindane, along with taxi boss Joe Sibanyoni, is a co-accused in the Kwaggafontein case. He is anticipated to provide testimony regarding financial records, stokvel transactions, payments received from Sibanyoni, and text messages exchanged between the two individuals.
Chairperson, retired Justice Mbuyiseli Madlanga, clarifies that an answering affidavit, if required, must be submitted at or around midday on September 22, 2026, and a response, if applicable, must be submitted on the same date. The application is scheduled to be heard at 9:30 AM on September 23, 2026.
