## Resource

The Madlanga Commission is unraveling a scandal at IDAC as former head Andrea Johnson admits to misusing legal processes, wrongly charging National Commissioner Fannie Masemola, and taking responsibility for flawed leadership. Questions intensify over why the Political Killings Task Team was suddenly included in the probe, with Johnson hinting at a “hidden hand” steering the investigation. A critical dispute erupted over a disputed Section 27 affidavit, with State Advocate Drushantha Ramsamy and investigator Mantsha Raphesu revealing the version presented to the commission was altered — omitting key allegations. The fallout is already severe: three top IDAC investigators suspended, and a full overhaul of the directorate is planned, including lifestyle audits and case reviews. Hearings continue, with Ramsamy set to testify again and Johnson returning to face fresh allegations — and the authenticity of that affidavit remains the central battleground.
