FILE| Chairperson and commissioners at the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry in Pretoria.
ANC President Cyril Ramaphosa has described the proceedings of the Madlanga Commission as a necessary cleansing process for the country and the criminal justice system in particular.
He was speaking to the SABC News on the sidelines of a voter registration campaign in Riversideview in Diepsloot north of Johannesburg on Saturday afternoon.
He received the Commission’s second interim report on Friday.
The Commission is investigating criminality, political interference and corruption in the criminal justice system. It is expected to finish its work at the end of August and submit its final report to the President.
Ramaphosa says he is still studying the interim report.
“The Madlanga Commission is an absolutely fantastic process. It is a process that is going to help us get rid of the rot within the criminal justice system. We have gone through State Capture, and we have largely been able to rid our country of State Capture and we now looking at the criminal justice system which has enormous challenges.”
