  "account": "The Madlanga Commission has authorized a closed-door hearing for Feroz Khan to present evidence on Tuesday, 6 October 2026. Khan was scheduled to testify on the 7th and 9th of July 2026. Attendees of the in-camera hearing are not allowed to publish, broadcast, disseminate, or place any recordings of the proceedings in the public domain. The Commission's bench, relevant evidence leaders, attorneys, and Khan's legal representatives are the only individuals permitted to attend. Earlier this week, Madlanga Commission Chairperson Justice Mbuyiseli Madlanga ordered criminal charges against Khan for not complying with a subpoena requiring his presence before the Commission. Madlanga deemed Khan's absence, including his virtual absence, as a \"flagrant disregard\" of the Commission's subpoena and a prior ruling. Khan's request for a postponement was denied by the Commission, as any outstanding concerns could have been addressed while he was present. Justice Madlanga instructed the Commission Secretary, Dr Nolitha Vukuza, to initiate criminal charges against Khan for his non-attendance.",
