Madlanga Commission | Lt-Colonel Deena Govender to testify in open session

Lt-Colonel Deena Govender's bid to have his testimony heard in-camera has been refused at the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry.

The Commission ruled that Govender must give evidence relating to the paragraphs referred to in paragraph 2 in an open hearing on Monday, 31 August 2026, at 9:30 am.

This is subject to certain qualifications, which include that he is not required to disclose the identities of witnesses in relation to the ongoing investigation into the Port Shepstone theft, among other matters.

During Govender's previous appearance, allegations surfaced that Police Minister Mchunu had asked him to "throw KZN's top cop, Lt-General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi, under the bus" regarding police shootings—an allegation the Minister denies.
