Madlanga Commission hears Johnson concede arrests were unnecessary.

Former Investigating Directorate Against Corruption head Advocate Andrea Johnson has admitted before the Madlanga Commission that arresting senior suspects was unnecessary and amounted to an abuse of arrest powers. Johnson conceded less intrusive measures, including summonses, could have secured court attendance without arrests. The admission followed sustained questioning over the arrests of Lieutenant General Khumalo and other suspects, with commissioners arguing the process unjustifiably infringed constitutional rights.
