PRETORIA - Witness F has been hospitalised and will not be available to give testimony before the Madlanga Commission on Monday.
The Commission says Witness F’s legal representatives have filed an application. Evidence leader Matthew Chaskalson asked that proceedings be postponed to 16 March.
At his first appearance earlier this month, the commission grilled the witness for allegedly sharing police information with alleged criminal cartel members.
After that testimony, Witness F attempted to block his return to the commission.

His lawyers filed an urgent interdict at the Pretoria High Court, citing fears of self-incrimination.
But they withdrew that application last week, paving the way for his return to the hot seat.
Suspended Deputy National Commissioner Shadrack Sibiya is expected to appear before the Commission on Wednesday.
