Madlanga Commission | Will Oupa 'Bafana' Sindane take the stand?

The Madlanga Commission of Inquiry at the Brigitte Mabandla Justice College in Pretoria, is expected to hear the evidence of taxi boss Oupa "Bafana" Sindane today.

Sindane was expected to appear before the commission last week, but gave several reasons for his no-show, including his ill health.

Another reason he pointed to was the High Court challenge in October to stop his subpoena and prevent the Commission from reading text messages from his phone.

His lawyer requested a postponement of his appearance, but the request was dismissed.

Commission Chairperson Justice Mbuyiseli Madlanga ruled that Sidane waited until the last minute to challenge the subpoena, and that the inquiry would continue leading evidence about him.
