The Madlanga Commission expands its sick-absence arrangements after taxi boss Bafana Sindane calls in sick at short notice, affecting scheduling for his testimony. IOL reports that Sindane’s legal team informs the commission that it has received a medical certificate.
In response, the commission considers postponement of Sindane’s testimony, effectively widening the “sick ward” used to manage appearances when witnesses are medically unable to attend. The available reports focus on the timing—Sindane’s absence is communicated at the 11th hour—and on the procedural step taken by his legal team in providing documentation to support the request.
Across the provided sources, the core point is consistent: Sindane does not testify as planned because his representatives cite illness and submit a medical certificate, leading to a change in how the commission schedules or categorizes the affected testimony time slot.
