Sindane to take stand at Madlanga Commission
Madlanga Inquiry dismissed Oupa “Bafana” Sindane‘s application for a postponement of his testimony.
The Madlanga Commission of Inquiry is set to hear the testimony of taxi industry figure Oupa "Bafana" Sindane on Monday. Sindane had been scheduled to appear before the commission last week, but due to poor health, he was unable to do so. His legal team requested a postponement, which was rejected. The inquiry has revealed that Sindane was aware of the reasons behind his constitutional challenge but only filed the application in the High Court at the last minute.
Sindane has sought an interdict to stop his subpoena to testify before the commission and to prevent the reading of text messages from his phone. Additionally, leaders have filed an application for certain parts of former Crime Intelligence Deputy Head Major-General Feroz Khan's evidence to be heard in camera. Khan has been subpoenaed to appear before the commission on Monday morning.
