Spiritual seclusion remains relevant: Sindane’s lawyer

Advocate Thabani Masuku, representing taxi industry figure Oupa 'Bafana' Sindane, argued during the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry that the claim of spiritual seclusion by his client remains relevant and has not been withdrawn. Masuku emphasized that Sindane is currently absent from the proceedings due to poor health. The lawyer explained that his client had chosen not to disclose private details about the seclusion and that this should not be considered as an adverse inference.

Masuku stressed that spiritual seclusion is significant for many individuals and should not be forced or coerced upon anyone seeking spiritual enlightenment. He further stated that the decision not to disclose personal and private matters related to the seclusion should not be met with adverse inference, as it is entirely private.
