New witness expected to testify at Madlanga Inquiry

The Madlanga Commission of Inquiry sitting at the Brigitte Mabandla Justice College enters Day 193

A new witness is scheduled to testify at the Madlanga Commission on Thursday morning. Initially, Johannesburg Metropolitan Police Department K9 Unit officer Johannes Mokgatle was to give testimony, but he will not be able to due to his poor health. The Commission's evidence leader, Advocate Thabang Pooe, informed Chairperson Justice Mbuyiseli Madlanga about this.

Justice Madlanga noticed in the opening description that Mokgatle was in the intensive care unit. Advocate Pooe then requested that Mokgatle be excused from the testimony for now. Just as the Commission is considering an application from an unidentified witness to have his testimony heard in camera, the Commission itself is still considering other matters.
