South Africa: Madlanga Commission Gets More Time to Root Out Corruption

The commission must finish hearing evidence by 2 October as Ramaphosa says the extension will help complete all matters in its terms of reference.

  • On Thursday, July 9, 2026, President Cyril Ramaphosa extended the Madlanga Commission's final report deadline to November 16, 2026, allowing the inquiry additional time to complete its work.
  • Ramaphosa established the Madlanga Commission in July 2025 after Lieutenant-General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi accused police officials of interference; this marks the third extension to address all terms of reference.
  • The Presidency set a new evidence deadline of October 2, 2026, during which commissioners will examine the alleged dismantling of the Political Killings Task Team and the transfer of 121 investigation dockets.
  • Presidential spokesperson Vincent Magwenya said "President Ramaphosa once again expresses his deepest appreciation for the work conducted by the Commission," noting law enforcement agencies are following up on testimony.
  • The inquiry has faced major setbacks including witness violence, mirroring the State Capture Commission, which received eight extensions before completing work in 2022.
