Overview
- Justice Mbuyiseli Madlanga moved all of Witness G’s evidence in-camera on Monday, leaving the public without access for now.
- Witness G, a Crime Intelligence officer testifying under a pseudonym, refused to read sensitive passages aloud, saying doing so would reveal their identity.
- The planned questioning covered suspicious deaths, apparent assassination attempts, and the role of North West businessman Brown Mogotsi in Crime Intelligence.
- Technical glitches and delayed starts disrupted the 100th hearing day, and the commission warned the evidence may take longer than first expected.
- The inquiry has spent R123 million of its R147 million budget and still faces a 29 May interim report and a 31 August final report, with extra funding requested from the National Treasury.
