The Madlanga Commission rules against Bafana Sindane’s request to postpone his testimony, ordering that he appear on Monday “in whatever format.” The decision follows a submission by his legal team on Wednesday that includes a medical certificate seeking a delay until October.
The outlet reporting the development says the commission rejects the postponement and directs testimony to proceed as scheduled. It also frames the instruction as flexible—requiring Sindane’s participation in a format the commission accepts—rather than granting a full rescheduling to a later date. Other details about the grounds for the medical request and the commission’s specific reasoning are not provided in the available material.
As reported, the immediate focus is on Monday’s appearance, with the commission maintaining its timetable while allowing for the practical circumstances described by Sindane’s representatives.
