Discussion | Has IDAC proven its efficacy within South Africa’s security and justice framework?

The Independent Directorate Against Corruption (IDAC) remains firmly in the spotlight. This week, the Madlanga Commission heard explosive testimony about the alleged capture of the Crime Intelligence unit, while questions were also raised after key witness Andrea Johnson submitted a medical certificate that commissioners described as inadequate.
