Proceedings in the Madlanga Commission got off to a heated start on Thursday when North West businessman Brown Mogotsi faced cross-examination . This was over his witness statement which the commission criticised as having only claims and without any solid evidence.
Mogotsi faced criticism from Commissioner Sandile Khumalo and Chairperson Justice Mbuyiseli Madlanga. Both questioned the truthfulness of Mogotsis statement which has demonstrated to be largely inconsistent.
Madlanga questioned Mogotsis commitment to his oath. This as Mogotsi has made several claims in his statement which have not been backed up.
