There was confusion about which officers had custody of the scene: first two accused Officers Mashaba and Magane were initially in charge, but later Officer Phakula claimed to have taken over from them, which LT-COL Sebola denies.
“Mashabaan and Magane arrived first. ... It was never [the case that Phakula was in charge].”
Officer Phakula was not in charge of the scene despite his claim otherwise.
“No, it was not.”
The officers first on the scene were Traffic Chief Mashaba, Officer Mogana, and Officer Phakula, who allegedly wanted to leave the scene and remove drugs from the bakkie.
“So, it was Sergeant Ndou who was at the scene when he arrived. It is his evidence that says that the officers on the scene at the time, the first officers on the scene, that would be the Traffic Chief Mashaba, and Officer Mogana, and Officer Phakula. Were allegedly wanting to leave the scene, remove the drugs from the scene in the bakkie. Is that correct? In terms of this report, yes.”
