Proceedings at the Madlanga Commission pause after Medicare24 CEO Mike van Wyk is unable to appear as a witness. Multiple reports say his legal team informs the inquiry that he has been hospitalised following panic attacks and has received psychiatric treatment. Because of his condition, van Wyk’s testimony does not take place as scheduled, and he applies for the matter to be postponed. The reports describe the disruption as a direct result of his inability to attend the witness stand, leading to an interruption in the commission’s scheduled flow. The information presented focuses on his medical status and the procedural response by the inquiry, rather than on any substantive evidence he was expected to give. No further details about the commission’s next steps or the rescheduled date are included in the sources provided. The coverage consistently attributes the postponement request to panic attacks and related psychiatric care.
