provincial tracing teams

On 22 June 2021, between 10 and 11 AM, Brigadier Nyuswa informed Lt-Col Prinsloo that provincial tracing teams seized a large quantity of cocaine from a container and instructed him to make storage available at his office, as secure storage was not available at the Forensic Science Laboratory due to flooding and dysfunction.

“On the 22nd of June 2021, between 10 and 11 in the morning, I received a telephone call from Brigadier Nyuswa. He informed me that the provincial tracing team seized a large quantity of Cocaine from a container and instructed me to make storage available at our office. He said he would take both sets of the safe keys with him once the exhibits were stored in the safe. He said the exhibits could not be stored at a Forensic Science Laboratory as they did not have a secure storage capacity. I knew that the laboratory had been flooded and was dysfunctional.”
