Madlanga Commission draws firmer line on delays as Sindane postponement bid fails

The Madlanga Commission rejected Pretoria-based taxi boss Oupa Jossiah “Bafana” Sindane’s attempt to postpone his testimony due to delays in filing his court challenge and postponement requests, despite being aware of the grounds for weeks. Sindane was subpoenaed to testify on Wednesday in an inquiry investigating criminality, political interference, and corruption in the justice system. Justice Madlanga stated that Sindane’s late action indicated an intention to delay the proceedings, as he had known the grounds since August but only filed the applications at the last minute.
