Madlanga Commission hears evidence relating to drug seizures and disappeared narcotics

  

The Madlanga commission resumes hearings this week, probing drug seizures and the disappearance of narcotics in KwaZulu‑Natal (KZN) and Gauteng.

Testimony follows last week’s in‑camera evidence from Witness H.

Commission spokesperson Jeremy Michaels said the in-camera evidence focused on the seizure, handling, storage and alleged theft of drugs kept at the Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation (Hawks) offices in Port Shepstone, KZN.

“This is the last week of public hearings before the commission breaks from 18 May 2026 to focus on its second interim report, which is due to be delivered to President Cyril Ramaphosa on 29 May 2026,” said the commission’s spokesperson, Jeremy Michaels.

The evidence presented at the Madlanga commission brought renewed scrutiny to the circumstances surrounding the theft of cocaine valued at R200 million from a police storage facility in KZN.
