jet ski

Sergeant Nkosi initially stated he found the card on his way back from collecting the jet ski from Mr Matlala's farm, but later changed his version to saying he found it at Hartebeespoort Dam, leading to contradictory evidence about the discovery circumstances of the card.

“I found it on my way back to collect the jet ski ... from Mr Matlala's farm ... you immediately changed your version and then you said, actually I found it at Hartebeespoort Dam ... there are a whole range of issues on which you have given fundamentally contradictory evidence in relation to this card.”

There are two contradictory versions about when the card was found: either in September 2024 or in December 2024.

“did you find the card in September or did you find the card in December? ... On some occasions you have said it was when you were fetching the jet ski which would have been September ... On other occasions you have said it was on the day that you sent the pictures to Mr Matlala ... which we know to be the 23rd of December ... So there are two different versions.”

Sergeant Nkosi admits he did not exercise control over the jet ski after it was brought back to Hammanskraal because there were securities at the farms.

“No. ... There are securities there in the farms.”

Sergeant Nkosi admits to using the jet ski after it was brought back to Hammanskraal but does not know the exact dates or arrangements made to use it.

“Yes. ... I do not know the exact date. I would phone my brother Sthembiso Baba’s other son and then I will make arrangements that he must inform the security that I am coming to pick up the jetski.”
