South African President Cyril Ramaphosa extends the Madlanga Commission’s deadline for submitting its final report. The commission hands its second interim report to Ramaphosa on 29 May, after previously submitting a first interim report in December 2025.
The extension gives the commission additional time to review remaining evidence and expert testimony before it submits the final findings. One outlet reports the final deadline is set for January 25, 2027, while another notes the deadline is extended to January 2027 without specifying the exact date. The outlets also describe the commission’s progress in issuing interim reports, indicating it is still assessing outstanding material ahead of the final submission.
