The commission has already issued two interim reports that led to arrests by a special SAPS unit. Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana says exact costs for implementing recommendations are still being determined, with funding to be allocated in the 2026 Adjustments Budget — subject to parliamentary approval via the Appropriation Act. Preliminary costs in September 2025 were R147.8 million, but no guarantees exist without legislative backing. Justice Minister Mmamoloko Kubayi is awaiting the final report before assessing legal and institutional reforms to strengthen the justice system and restore public trust. Meanwhile, the EFF demands full public access to interim reports, arguing the commission belongs to the people — with only necessary redactions for ongoing investigations or security.
