The Madlanga Commission of Inquiry resumed live today, Friday, 26 September 2025, with a continued focus on allegations of political interference in South Africa’s criminal justice system, especially regarding the disbandment of the KwaZulu-Natal Political Killings Task Team (PKTT)[4].

A fourth witness, identified as the KwaZulu-Natal Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP), is testifying at the Commission. This testimony is expected to address both the statutory framework governing the South African Police Service (SAPS) and oversight mechanisms, as well as recent concerns about the roles of the Police Minister and the National Commissioner following the PKTT disbandment[4][5].

Livestreams of the proceedings are available via SABC News and eNCA, with notable commentary on key moments such as expert witnesses criticizing Minister Mchunu for allegedly overstepping his mandate and discussions on parliament and executive roles in SAPS policy directions[1][3]. Today’s testimony also covers the new National Policing Policy, approved in July 2025, which is being implemented for the first time since South Africa’s current constitution came into effect[7].

Updates from the witness include clarification of SAPS’s reporting structure, the statutory and regulatory framework, and the implementation of national instructions, provincial orders, and SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures) within SAPS. The witness also emphasized recurring concerns about the need to clarify the respective roles of the Police Minister and the National Commissioner, which have become more prominent due to recent disputes and the PKTT disbandment[7].

The full proceedings can be watched live, with additional analysis and expert opinions available from SABC News and eNCA platforms[1][3][5].
