His legal team argues public disclosure could harm his health, religious standing, children’s safety, and even his wife’s business. The Madlanga Commission, which previously denied his request for a private hearing, is now set to decide this Thursday whether to grant it — a move that could reshape how sensitive witness testimony is handled in high-profile inquiries.
