I urgently and humbly ask for the minister to intervene and ensure the integrity of the investigative process is maintained, to ensure a fair and just outcome.

— Fadiel Adams, in an email to Police Minister Senzo Mchunu on 1 November 2024, requesting intervention to maintain the integrity of the investigation.

I am very pleased with the work that is being done with the Madlanga Commission. It may well be that they need a little bit more time and I'll listen to that request if it comes.

— President Cyril Ramaphosa, speaking to journalists on Monday during the Chris Hani Regional Volunteers Launch at Qamata Great Place in Cofimvaba.

The public has a legitimate interest in ensuring such allegations are investigated thoroughly, impartially, and within a reasonable timeframe. Therefore, we respectfully request that the portfolio committee prioritise this matter at the commencement of the third parliamentary term and provide feedback on the steps it intends to take in exercising its oversight responsibilities.
