Sindane’s bid to halt commission from using texts struck off the roll

Sindane approached a PTA court to block inquiry from using texts exchanged between him, Sibanyoni.

Taxi magnate Oupa "Bafana" Sindane's plea to the Pretoria High Court to halt the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry from examining text messages he exchanged with taxi boss Joe Sibanyoni has been dismissed due to insufficient urgency. Sindane, scheduled to testify before the commission on Monday, intends to refute accusations of money laundering and his alleged ties to the taxi industry's so-called "Big Five."

The commission is also set to scrutinize the nature of his interactions with Sibanyoni and the correspondence between them. The Gauteng High Court has removed Sindane's urgent application from the roll, barring the commission from considering his testimony or evidence.
