Ramaphosa receives interim report from Madlanga Commission

President Cyril Ramaphosa has now received the interim report from the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry.

The commission said it was handed over exactly three months after KwaZulu-Natal Police Commissioner Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi appeared as the first witness.

It was Mkhwanazi's allegations of corruption and interference that lead to Ramaphosa establishing the inquiry.

The commission has heard from 37 witnesses and will hear from more people in the new year.

"The commission has heard 28 witnesses in Phase One as part of the airing, substantiation and corroboration of the allegations. As part of Phase Two, the commission has thus far heard 9 witnesses who have testified in reply to the allegations levelled against them and to tell their side of the story, with dozens more due to appear in 2026," said the commission's spokesperson Jeremy Michaels.

The interim report will not be made public, while contents of the final submission will be published.
