AllAfrica reported that Mike van Wyk, chief executive of Medicare24, is scheduled to appear at the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry on 22 June 2026. The commission is examining a R360-million South African Police Service medical services tender awarded to the company.
A video showing van Wyk holding bundles of cash while talking to suspended Ekurhuleni Metro Police Department deputy chief Julius Mkhwanazi has been placed before the commission.
The inquiry also intends to question van Wyk about agreements that allowed Medicare24 vehicles to be fitted with blue and red emergency lights. AllAfrica reported that church leader Michael Sandlana appeared at the Specialised Commercial Crimes Court in Pretoria on 22 June 2026 seeking bail. He faces 19 charges including corruption and money laundering.
Prosecutors allege payments of about R2.4-million were made to or for the benefit of Gauteng High Court Judge Portia Phahlane between 2021 and 2022 to secure favourable rulings in a church leadership dispute. Sandlana has been in custody since November.
Media personality Molemo 'Jub Jub' Maarohanye appeared in the Germiston Magistrate's Court on 22 June 2026 on a charge of pointing an object believed to be a firearm.
He was arrested after allegedly confronting an e-hailing driver and accusing him of having a relationship with his girlfriend. AllAfrica reported that alleged political fixer Brown Mogotsi appeared at the Johannesburg Magistrate's Court on 22 June 2026 for a fresh bail application. His first bail application failed last month after the court found he could not confirm a residential address.
