A fire alarm went off at Brigitte Mabandla College, the venue of the Madlanga Commission, on Wednesday morning, prompting the evacuation of attendees, including members of the media, as a precaution.
No injuries have been reported as reported by IOL.
The proceedings are scheduled to take place at 9:30am. The fire alarm went off before the proceedings began.
Emergency services from the City of Tshwane responded to the scene, and an investigation has been launched to determine the cause.
Major General Hendrik Flynn, component head for serious organised crime at the Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation, is expected to continue his testimony.
He is testifying on allegations of criminality and corruption linked to drug busts. On Tuesday, Flynn said South Africa serves as both a destination for local drug distribution and a transit hub for international trafficking.
