President Cyril Ramaphosa was ‘looking forward’ to Idac boss Andrea Johnson’s testimony at the Madlanga Commission, which was delayed after she called in sick.
The conduct of South Africa’s most powerful anti-corruption czar, the head of the Investigating Directorate Against Corruption (Idac), Andrea Johnson, is under scrutiny by the man who appointed her, President Cyril Ramaphosa.
“It is something the President is looking into. He was looking forward to her testimony [at the Madlanga Commission] today,” said Presidency spokesperson Vincent Magwenya in response to a Daily Maverick query.
But that testimony never happened. On Monday, 13 July, Johnson submitted what commission chairperson Mbuyiseli Madlanga bluntly labelled “one of those useless” medical certificates, failing to appear to answer damning allegations of collusion and defeating the ends of justice.
