I will Exposed Them All:SA Corrupt Leaders In Big Trouble As New Witness Set To Testify At Madlanga
A new witness is expected to take the stand at the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry on Thursday after Johannesburg Metropolitan Police Department (JMPD) officer Johannes Mokgatle was excused from testifying due to serious health concerns.
Evidence leader Advocate Thabang Pooe informed Commission chairperson Justice Mbuyiseli Madlanga that Mokgatle would appear before the inquiry once he had recovered. The officer, who was subpoenaed to give evidence, was reportedly admitted to an intensive care unit (ICU), preventing him from attending the scheduled proceedings.
The Commission has been investigating allegations surrounding Mokgatle’s involvement in events linked to murder accused Katiso βKTβ Molefe.
Previous testimony raised questions about claims that Mokgatle had falsely represented himself as being on sick leave while allegedly being present at Molefe’s residence during a police raid in 2024. These allegations have placed his conduct under scrutiny as the inquiry examines possible misconduct and relationships involving law enforcement officials.
However, his absence means the Commission will have to wait until he is medically fit before hearing his version of events. A fresh subpoena is expected to be issued once his health improves.
Meanwhile, the inquiry is also considering a request from an unidentified businessman, who has reportedly worked as a registered South African Police Service (SAPS) informer for more than a decade.
The businessman wants his testimony, scheduled for next Monday, to be heard in camera because he fears for his life and the safety of his family.
The media has been given 24 hours to submit objections to the application, with the Commission expected to deliver its ruling by Friday.
The developments add another significant dimension to the ongoing inquiry, which continues examining allegations of police misconduct, criminal connections and possible interference with law enforcement operations.
