forwarding agent

Advocate Ramkalawan advised that at the early stage of the investigation, the listed entities including the transporter, clearing, and forwarding agents should be viewed as suspects and statements should not be obtained prematurely.

“At that stage, according to her or the DPP's office, we should view them as suspects until we can with certainty say that they are not. So at that stage, she thought it was premature to obtain statements from these entities.”
