Mabizela

Mr Mogotsi's handler was Warrant Officer Mabizela (also referred to as Mabuzela), but Mr Mogotsi denies incriminating himself.

“In your statement you say that your handler was Warrant Officer Mabizela.”

The person described as Mr Mogotsi's co-handler denies that Warrant Officer Mabizela was his handler, stating it was Warrant Officer Mabuza.

“The man who you describe as your co-handler was adamant that you were never handled by Warrant Officer Mabizela, only by Warrant Officer Mabuza.”

Adv Chaskalson states that Warrant Officer Mabizela was not killed but imprisoned and that Warrant Officer Mabuzza is still alive and active in Crime Intelligence.

“Warrant Officer Mabizela was not killed. Warrant Officer Mabizela was imprisoned. ... The only Warrant Officer Mabizela in Crime Intelligence ... You did not give us the name of Warrant Officer Mabuza so we could not investigate.”

Mr Mogotsi said the request to open the docket came directly from him, not from the handler Mabizela or Mabuza, though he may have called both.

“your co-handler said that the request came straight from you, not from Mabizela or Mabuza, the request to open a docket for this person.”
