Claim 1: “The Madlanga commission of inquiry into alleged corruption in the criminal justice system is continuing on Monday.”
DISPUTED
There is a direct contradiction between sources. Two sources (African Times and a 'WATCH LIVE' snippet) state the commission is continuing or resuming on Monday. However, a third source dated August 9, 2026, explicitly states that the commission 'will not hold public hearings on Sunday or Monday' and is expected to resume on Tuesday.
