Legal debates centered on Section 27 of the National Prosecuting Authority Act, with Commission Chairperson Justice Mbuyiseli Madlanga challenging Johnson's subjective legal interpretation.

The hearings also addressed Suliman Carrim's fifth postponement request for medical reasons, with conflicting arguments over whether his testimony should be delayed indefinitely or scheduled for a fixed date.The commission reserved judgment on Carrim's application, highlighting the significance of his potential testimony in the inquiry.
