LIVE: Madlanga Commission of Inquiry | 6 March 2026

Today, Friday, 6 March 2026, the Madlanga Commission hears the second day of testimony from Major-General Richard Shibiri, the former Head of Organised Crime, amidst the unresolved absence of key witness Brown Mogotsi. Recap: The Status of Brown Mogotsi While businessman Brown Mogotsi was scheduled to return to the stand this week, he has not yet testified. Mogotsi made a brief appearance on Wednesday, 4 March, to explain his failure to appear on Monday, citing dizziness and severe stomach problems. However, Commission Chairperson Mbuyiseli Madlanga sharply criticized his medical certificate, describing it as "useless" for only citing a "medical condition" without providing specific details. The Commission has ordered that the sick note be reviewed by the medical council, and Mogotsi's testimony has been postponed to a later date. The Focus Today: Major-General Richard Shibiri With Mogotsi's return delayed, the spotlight remains firmly on Major-General Shibiri. His testimony is critical because Mogotsi had previously accused him of being on the payroll of alleged crime boss Vusimuzi "Cat" Matlala. What to Watch for in Day 2 of Shibiri's Testimony: 1. Direct Allegations: The Commission is expected to confront Shibiri directly with claims that he received corrupt payments from Matlala while heading the very unit meant to dismantle organized crime. 2. The "Bridge" Theory: Investigators are probing whether Shibiri acted as the crucial link within the police force, protecting criminal interests in exchange for bribes. 3. Cross-Examination: After laying out his defense on day one, Shibiri will likely face aggressive cross-examination from Evidence Leaders, who will press him on specific meetings and financial transactions. As General Shibiri fights to clear his name, the nation watches to see if the man once trusted to dismantle organised crime will be consumed by it. #MadlangaCommission #GeneralShibiri #SouthAfrica #Corruption #BrownMogotsi #SickNote #ContemptWarning #Accountability #PublicInquiry #SouthAfricanNews #LegalNews #Day2 #March2026
