However, commission chairperson Justice Mbuyiseli Madlanga said that in terms of section six of the commission’s work, it is an offence for a witness to refuse to participate before the commission probing allegations of criminality, political interference and corruption in the criminal justice system.
WATCH | Commissioner Sesi Baloyi says that the application by Adv Hartley Ngoato that his client, Witness F, must not testify before the Madlanga commission has no basis.
