Advocates for Transformation (AFT) said there has been an escalating pattern of threats and intimidation directed at advocate Sandile Khumalo, one of the commissioners at the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry.

In a statement issued on Tuesday, AFT said Khumalo, the organisation's chairperson, advocate Myron Dewrance SC, as well as members of Dewrance's family and friends, have been targeted through threatening communications sent from multiple cellphone numbers.

The organisation said it had deliberately refrained from making the threats public but decided to speak out because the threats have become increasingly aggressive and had escalated to include explicit threats of sexual violence.
