The Independent Directorate Against Corruption (IDAC) Ombudsman, led by Retired Judge Takalani Raulinga, will address media concerns regarding IDAC's controversies following revelations at the Madlanga Commission.The commission found that IDAC overstepped its authority by charging Crime Intelligence (CI) bosses for matters handled by police HR.IDAC also abandoned charges against CI head General Dumisani Khumalo and Major-General Nosipho Madondo after they surrendered to police.

Raulinga's spokesperson emphasized the media briefing would outline steps against IDAC's alleged misconduct, including abuse of power and improper conduct.The National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) clarified that IDAC's controversies are separate from its establishment in March 2026.
