Chairperson SHUTS DOWN General Khan | Maldanga Commission 1 July

Witness a stunning courtroom moment at the *Madlanga Commission* as a former Constitutional Court judge, now chairing one of South Africa's most closely watched commissions of inquiry, dismantles Advocate Khan's application for an **in camera hearing**. The legal showdown begins when the chairperson brands the application "very vague" and "hopeless," demanding a clear factual basis for keeping Major General Ferose Khan's evidence behind closed doors. With no convincing answer forthcoming, the tension escalates as Commissioner Baloy joins the questioning, exposing critical weaknesses in the application before the commission. The drama intensifies as the advocate attempts to rely on late-disclosed WhatsApp messages, banking records, and his client's recent hospitalization following a shooting. But the Madlanga Commission remains focused on one central question: where is the evidence that justifies secrecy on state security or intelligence grounds? The exchange becomes a fascinating lesson in South African legal procedure, demonstrating how an underprepared application can quickly unravel under rigorous judicial scrutiny. Ultimately, the pressure proves too much. After an intense procedural debate over affidavits, reply papers, and the rules governing commission proceedings, Advocate Khan withdraws the application from the roll. This courtroom exchange offers a rare look at how commissions of inquiry test legal arguments in real time and why proper evidence matters.
