The president of South Africa’s Constitutional Court, Mogoeng Mogoeng’s successor? (Madlanga) has criticized fellow legal figure Fadiel Adams for what he calls an unacceptable “laptop excuse,” urging Adams to treat his commission responsibilities seriously.
According to reports, Madlanga’s remarks focus on Adams’ explanation for not completing or attending to commission-related tasks, and he emphasizes the importance of fulfilling duties to the people represented. The criticism is presented as a push for accountability and seriousness in official work.
Outlets focus on the tone and message of Madlanga’s intervention, highlighting the expectation that commissioners and office-bearers follow through on their responsibilities rather than relying on practical justifications. While the accounts centre on the dispute between the two figures, they converge on the core point: Madlanga publicly challenges Adams’ reason for shortcomings in carrying out commission work.
