A witness in the Madlanga Commission has been granted permission to give evidence in camera, as requested. The witness, referred to as Witness P, had previously asked that all appearances before the inquiry be held in private. The commission has agreed to keep the witness’s appearance and any future sessions confidential.
The decision follows concerns raised by the witness about the need for privacy. The evidence and supporting documents will remain confidential, ensuring the witness’s anonymity. This marks a significant step in the commission’s handling of sensitive information.
The move is seen as a response to the potential risks of exposing personal details. The commission has emphasized the importance of protecting witnesses while ensuring the integrity of the inquiry. No further details about the witness or the case have been disclosed.
The ruling highlights the commission’s commitment to balancing transparency with the protection of individuals involved. The process continues as other matters are reviewed.
