The Presidency has not commented on reports that the head of the Investigating Directorate Against Corruption (IDAC), Andrea Johnson, wants to resign amid the growing scrutiny following her testimony at the Madlanga Commission.

The testimony further produced several complaints from interested parties filed to the Legal Practice Council and the IDAC oversight judge.
