Sello demands apology from Van den Heever over procedural claims
Sello rejected the allegation, saying she could not have attended the meeting.
Adv Mahlape Sello, a leader at the Madlanga Commission evidence, has demanded an apology from Adv Annelene van den Heever regarding allegations that she participated in discussions about a prior procedural and evidentiary dispute. The dispute revolves around statements and notes discussed by Commission investigator Bongani Dlamini, and whether all parties reached an agreement on how the material would be utilized.
Sello vehemently rejects the claim, stating she could not have attended the meeting. She explains that such allegations would expose her to accusations of professional misconduct and have tarnished her reputation.
In a subsequent development, van den Heever expressed sincere regret for implying that Sello had attended the meeting. However, she also requested an apology from Sello, citing claims that the discussions had never taken place, and that no agreement was reached regarding their handling. She emphasized that both the allegations of her presence at the meeting and the supposed agreement should be retracted.
