# Senior Counsel Matthew Chaskalson has been appointed chief evidence leader of the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry into criminality, political interference and corruption in the justice system. This follows Advocate Terry Motau’s abrupt resignation less than ten days into the role. Chaskalson, a veteran of the Marikana and State Capture inquiries, joins senior counsel Mahlape Sello and Adila Hassim. The high-pressure commission, chaired by Justice Mbuyiseli Madlanga, has six months to deliver its report to president Cyril Ramaphosa.
