Andrea Johnson, a representative of the Independent Development Agency for Correctional Services (IDAC), admitted to making errors in her testimony before Parliament during the ongoing Madlanga Inquiry. The admission came during a session of the inquiry, which is investigating allegations of misconduct and mismanagement within the correctional services system.
Johnson acknowledged that certain statements she made in her earlier testimony were inaccurate, though she did not specify the exact nature of the errors. The Madlanga Inquiry, named after its chairperson, retired Justice Sisi Khampepe, has been examining various aspects of the correctional services department, including procurement irregularities and staff misconduct.
This development adds to the growing list of controversies surrounding the inquiry, which has already heard testimonies from several current and former officials. The inquiry is expected to continue its hearings in the coming weeks, with further witnesses scheduled to appear.
