"A police officer implicated at the Madlanga Commission, now with a search warrant being executed at his Pretoria home. The Commission's proceedings are producing operational consequences, not just testimony. That is how accountability is supposed to work. What is recoveed at the premises will matter."

"Right before Easter. Madlanga doesn't have peace."
