The Madlanga Commission of Inquiry has been postponed after two media houses challenged the decision to hold witness testimonies behind closed doors.
The commission is probing allegations made by Lieutenant-General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi on 6 July 2025. Proceedings were due to continue on Monday, 13 October 2025, after a week-long break.

A journalist with a decade of experience reporting on the South African political landscape, Briefly News journalist Byron Pillay, is following the developments.
