President Cyril Ramaphosa has granted the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry into Criminality, Political Interference, and Corruption in the Criminal Justice System an extension to complete its work, pushing back the deadline for its final report by more than two months.
The Presidency announced on Thursday that the commission will now submit its final report on 16 November 2026, instead of the previously anticipated deadline of the end of August.
According to a statement, presidential spokesperson Vincent Magwenya said the extension also provides the commission with additional time to conclude its evidence-gathering process.
“The extension granted by the President sets an evidence deadline of Friday, 2 October 2026, and a reporting deadline of Monday, 16 November, to enable the Commission to close off topics it has opened up in the course of hearings to date,” Magwenya said.
