It’s all systems go for the Judicial Commission of Inquiry into Criminality, Political Interference, and Corruption in the Criminal Justice System, as KwaZulu-Natal police commissioner Lt-Gen Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi prepares to take the stand at 10 a.m. on Wednesday to lay it all bare.
The Commission’s first public hearing is scheduled for Wednesday at 10am, the Commission confirmed.
Subsequent hearings will begin daily at 9.30am, according to Commission spokesperson Jeremy Michaels.
Michaels noted that public seating at the venue is limited to 300 attendees, with access granted on a first come, first served basis.
“People attending will be seated on a first come, first served basis. Therefore, members of the public must arrive early if they wish to secure a seat,” he said.
“An additional reason for early arrival is that strict access control measures will be in place and no unauthorised entry will be permitted.”
The venue, the Bridgette Mabandla Justice College in Pretoria, has been transformed into a courtroom for what many are calling a pivotal moment in South Africa’s ongoing fight against corruption.
Chaired by retired Constitutional Court Justice Mbuyiseli Madlanga, the Commission has been allocated a substantial budget of R147.9 million over a six-month period.
