KwaZulu-Natal Hawks head Lesetja Senona claims he is being prejudiced at the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry.

Senona is testifying before the commission in Pretoria for a third day on Thursday.

However, before his cross-examination could resume, he requested to address the commission.

The issue resulted in a 45-minute back-and-forth between the evidence leader, Adila Hassim, and Senona’s attorney.

Senona accused the commission’s attorneys of failing to furnish him and his legal team with evidence timeously, preventing them from preparing properly.

"Some of the documents we received annexures on Tuesday, the 27th. This morning [Thursday], we received another document, of which I’m not sure if I’m going to be cross-examined on or not. But with these practices, I feel I am being prejudiced," Senona said.
