(The Post News)- The Madlanga Commission of Inquiry has been adjourned on Wednesday, 01 October 2025, after the sudden departure of its key witness, Crime Intelligence head Lieutenant General Dumisani Khumalo; he reportedly fell ill shortly after proceedings were set to begin at 9am.
Commission chair Justice Mbuyiseli Madlanga confirmed the development at the Brigitte Mabandla Justice College in Pretoria just when the commission was about to begin. “As you can see, General Khumalo is not at his seat this morning. He left the precinct at three minutes past nine. He is not well. We, as the commission, have decided not to sit today,” he said. Justice Madlanga added that they will announce the new date once it has been confirmed.
During Tuesday’s hearings, Khumalo presented text conversations between attempted murder suspect Vusimuzi “Cat” Matlala and police minister Senzo Mchunu’s associate, Brown Mogotsi. In the investigation of a criminal group that has penetrated law enforcement, the texts exposed yet another level of corruption.
