An inquiry before the Madlanga Commission hears that a former head of South Africa’s IDAC (Independent Directorate for Compliance) acknowledges the unit investigated matters beyond its legal mandate. According to reporting from IOL, Johnson concedes that IDAC’s investigations extended to areas that were not covered by its statutory authority, including issues relating to promotions within the South African Police Service (SAPS). The admission also relates to the ongoing PKTT probe, with Johnson reinforcing an earlier concession that IDAC investigated the PKTT matter even though it fell outside the directorate’s jurisdiction. The reporting indicates the acknowledgement is part of the wider testimony concerning how IDAC handled its responsibilities and the scope of its investigations. The commission hearing continues as officials and witnesses address questions about compliance, oversight, and whether investigative actions taken by the unit were properly within its mandate. No specific outcomes of the PKTT probe are stated in the provided material; the focus is on jurisdiction and adherence to legal limits.
