Drushantha Ramsamy, a State Advocate with the Independent Directorate Against Corruption (IDAC), a unit of the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA).

THE Madlanga Commission has become a national mirror, reflecting some of South Africa's deepest anxieties about race, power, loyalty, accountability, and the credibility of the institutions established to protect the public.

Few witnesses have generated as much discussion in recent days as IDAC prosecutor Drushantha Ramsamy.

Her testimony has been compelling, offering an insider's view of the organisation's workings and investigative processes. She has boldly challenged disagreeable decisions, drawing significant attention as her evidence sheds light on the institution's scrutinised procedures.

There is little doubt that parts of her testimony have resonated with members of the public.
