Mr Shirindzi (R.T.)

Mr Shirindzi (R.T.) appeared before the Madlanga Commission as legal counsel for Brigadier, seeking permission to re-examine a witness under regulation 8(4) of the Commission's regulations. He argued that certain pertinent issues required clarification to ensure the Commission could make well-informed recommendations to the President, and that allowing the questions would cause no prejudice to the proceedings. He emphasised that the matters were of public interest, given the broadcast nature of the hearings, and that his client stood to suffer greater prejudice if the points remained unresolved. The Chairperson engaged with his application, directing him to specific pages and paragraphs for the questioning.
