operation on 9 July 2021

There was a delay of about 10 days in taking Lieutenant Colonel Chauke's written statement after the 9 July 2021 operation, which allowed for changes in the account compared to what was told on the phone initially.

“The criticism is about the time lapse ... between the day of the operation itself, the 9th of July, and the date of the statement, there was a delay ... which allowed for people to change what they told you on the phone”
