Ndlozi posted on X on 13 July 2026, pointing out that several individuals who had previously boasted about clearing their names before the commission were now suddenly unwell precisely when they were due to face tough questioning.

Nldozi lambasted IDAC for what he claims are nefarious activities and shielidng mafia bisses and drug lords.
"They told us how they will come to the commission and prove Gen. Mkhwanazi wrong. But how the brave are being hospitalised when it is time to face Madlanga," he wrote.
He added that that their illnesses appeared "so well occasioned to create conditions in which they can't come and face the music."
"We see them for who they are. We shall not perish in their schemes, The truth will prevail," he exclaimed
Social media reacts
The pattern has not gone unnoticed by ordinary South Africans, many of whom have been following the proceedings closely.
@Tlou_50 pointed out:
"Andrea ran to News24 to give her side. But can not do the same to the commission where she was heavily implicated…"
@villainnoir observed:
"They thought the commission was going to be play-play then they saw how the evidence leaders brought the heat and how the commissioners were astute and knew their story. Then the narrative changed."
@Evidence_Shongw said:
"They thought the commission is their friends who commit crimes against humanity like them."
@MzansiFarmer stated:
"General Mkhwanazi created this mess" ~Julius Malema
@Buyile311214 challenged Ndlozi directly:
"I bet if you were still in the EFF you'd never write this."
Ndlozi closed his post with a firm declaration:
"We see them for who they are! And we shall not perish in their schemes! The truth will prevail!"
