President Cyril Ramaphosa extends the deadline for the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry after discussion with the commission over delivery timelines. Multiple reports say the extension sets a new completion date of 16 November, giving the inquiry additional time to finalise its work. The coverage frames the move in the context of ongoing delays and increasing scrutiny around whether the commission can meet its previous deadline without further changes. One outlet reports that Ramaphosa is open to extending the deadline, while another notes that experts have commended his willingness to do so. Another report describes the commission as being in talks with Ramaphosa regarding the extension. The South African reports the deadline is the second extension the commission receives, and connects the decision to the need to allow more time for the inquiry to conclude its mandate. Overall, the sources agree that the president grants more time for the Madlanga Commission to complete its inquiry and that the revised timeline points to a November deadline.
