Senior Counsel Advocate Matthew Chaskalson has been appointed as the Chief Evidence Leader of the Madlanga Commission tasked with probing allegations of criminality, political interference, and criminality in the criminal justice system.
This takes place amid speculation and uncertainty over Senior Counsel Advocate Terry Motau, who held the position in the high-profile inquiry.
When speculation first swirled over Motau’s future in the probe, the Commission remained mum, emphasising that the focus was on the work of the Commission, which is upholding the rule of law.
The hearings continue with crime intelligence head Lt-General Dumisani Khumalo on the stand at 9:30 am.
Khumalo, a central figure who is expected to assist the commission in “joining the dots,” has been painting a picture of the alleged infiltration of crime cartels in the criminal justice system, particularly the Big Five cartel, which includes the alleged membership of Vusimuzi ‘Cat’ Matlala and Katiso Molefe.
