Tumelo Nku is expected to return to the Madlanga Commission to continue his testimony, after his initial appearance was cut short. Nku had asked for an opportunity to supplement his original statement, according to SABC News.
The commission adjourned his testimony on Monday when Nku indicated he needed additional time to provide further details. His request was granted, allowing him to return for a subsequent session. No new witness was called in his place during the interim.
The Madlanga Commission, established to investigate allegations of corruption and misconduct in public office, has been hearing testimonies from various individuals linked to the cases under review. Nku’s re-called appearance underscores ongoing efforts to clarify key aspects of the evidence.
Further proceedings will depend on the commission’s schedule and the relevance of the additional information Nku intends to provide. The commission has not disclosed the specific content of the supplementation sought.
According to Eyewitness News, a new witness is expected to take the stand at the commission, though it is not yet clear if this will coincide with or follow Nku’s return. The timing of the next session has not been confirmed.
