The uMkhonto weSizwe Party (MKP) has expressed serious concerns over the upcoming Madlanga Commission of Inquiry, scheduled to begin in Pretoria on Wednesday.
The party has questioned the timing of the commission’s commencement, calling it suspicious, particularly in light of the court case MKP filed challenging the commission’s legality and validity.
The Madlanga Commission is tasked with investigating criminality, political interference, and corruption within the criminal justice system.
MKP plans to formally challenge the commission’s legality in the North Gauteng High Court in Pretoria on Thursday.
Party spokesperson Nhlamulo Ndhlela said, “General Mkhwanazi has made allegations that the judiciary, specifically judges, were complicit—and in effect participating—in these criminal activities.
We are questioning how a Judicial Commission of Inquiry can be properly formed when the same judiciary, including judges, could potentially be implicated in the matters under investigation. How can we be sure that Justice Madlanga himself isn’t investigating matters that may touch on his own role or colleagues? The decision to start the commission the day before our court challenge is highly eyebrow-raising.”
The MK Party’s statements underscore the tensions surrounding the inquiry and raise questions about the independence and impartiality of the commission.
