# The Madlanga Commission of Inquiry has ruled that testimony from Witness H, a key crime intelligence officer, will be heard entirely in camera. The public and media are banned from accessing the audio or video of the testimony. The evidence relates to the 2021 theft of 541 bricks of cocaine from Hawks offices in Port Shepstone, KwaZulu-Natal. The commission says the closed proceedings are necessary to protect the witness, confidential informants, and ongoing investigations linked to alleged criminal syndicates and corruption within the criminal justice system.
