Evidence leaders in the Madlanga commission probing allegations of criminality, political interference and corruption in the criminal justice system are expected to apply for evidence to be presented in camera indefinitely as the hearings proceed on Monday.
Commission spokesperson Jeremy Michaels confirmed that both members of the media and the public will be barred from the proceedings if the application is granted.
"In view of the nature of the evidence to be presented when the hearings resume, the evidence leaders will apply for the hearings to be conducted in camera, in a closed session at which the media and members of the public will not be allowed.
"If the commission grants the application, the hearings will then proceed in camera until further notice," said Michaels.
The commission was suspended shortly after the witness on the stand - police head of crime intelligence Lt-Gen Dumisani Khumalo - fell ill a week ago.
The commission then suspended the proceedings for a week to allow commissioner Sesi Baloyi to attend her duties as a member of the Judicial Service Commission.
