The EFF are at odds with the repeated extension of the Madlanga Commission without full disclosure of its progress and recommendations, saying that it undermines transparency and public confidence in the inquiry.

The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) has argued that the repeated extension of the Madlanga Commission without full disclosure of its progress and recommendations undermines transparency and public confidence in the inquiry.

The party welcomed the extension, but criticised the manner in which the Presidency has managed the inquiry, saying it lacks certainty and transparency.

On Thursday, Ramaphosa extended the lifespan of the commission, with its final report now due on November 16, 2026 instead of the original deadline of August 31, 2026.

"The Commission will submit its report on Monday, 16 November 2026, instead of 31 August 2026, as anticipated originally."
