Chief Justice Raymond Zondo’s deputy, Justice Mbuyiseli Madlanga, sets a September 28 deadline for Khan to either testify in a case or face being subjected to a medical examination.

According to the report, Khan is only excused from appearing if he undergoes an independent medical assessment by September 8. The measure is presented as a way to determine whether health concerns affect his ability to testify, while still maintaining the court’s timetable.

The outlet framing emphasizes the conditional nature of the deadline—Khan’s participation depends on whether he complies with the medical assessment requirement. The information provided does not detail the underlying dispute in the case or specify the consequences beyond the court’s order for medical evaluation if Khan does not meet the conditions.
