This news report concerns the legal proceedings surrounding the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry (chaired by Justice Mbuyiseli Madlanga).

Key Points of the Ruling:

• The Application: Bafana Sindane had approached the High Court with an urgent application aimed at interdicting or compelling the disclosure of specific WhatsApp messages and communication records relevant to the Commission’s ongoing investigations and testimonies.

• The Outcome: The court struck Sindane’s urgent bid off the roll.

• The Grounds: The court found that the application lacked the required degree of urgency to justify hearing the matter out of the normal court sequence. Striking a matter off the roll for lack of urgency means the court did not make a final ruling on the substantive legal merits of the dispute, but rather refused to grant urgent intervention.

• Cost Order: The applicant was ordered to pay the legal costs incurred by the opposing parties.
