Bafana Sindane files an urgent application to stop the Madlanga Commission from accessing his phone and messaging evidence, including WhatsApp messages, while the matter is reviewed. According to the report, the application is filed on Tuesday night and asks that the commission be prevented from using the contents of the messages pending scrutiny of the subpoena and related evidence.
The move centers on whether the commission’s request and the supporting material comply with the relevant processes and standards. The article frames Sindane’s request as a temporary protection against immediate access, rather than a final determination of the admissibility of the evidence. The report does not provide further detail on the commission’s response or the specific legal arguments being made beyond seeking to block access while the subpoena and evidence are reviewed.
