Port Shepstone theft

Warrant Officer Setshedi was made aware on 21 January 2022 and through the Commission on 5 November 2021 regarding arrangements to collect samples related to the Port Shepstone theft case.

“I think some of the – since the first one was, I was made aware that I am part of this on the 21st of January. The other one is through the Commission. I think it was the 5th when there was this, I think it was General Flynn who was presenting. And then he talked about a plan that had a date of the 15th of November.”

In January 2022 investigation, Warrant Officer Setshedi prepared a statement concerning the Port Shepstone cocaine theft and the destruction of evidence.

“When you, so that is the first time that you now confronted with the Port Shepstone theft. It is in January 2022. You prepare a statement for purposes of that investigation... did you deal with the fact that you were asked by Colonel Jacob about destruction?”

Warrant Officer Setshedi did not report being intimidated during the January 2022 Port Shepstone theft investigation.

“During the meeting of the 19th of May, did Warrant Officer Setshedi say anything about him being intimidated by the investigators of the Port Shepstone theft in January, 2022?... No, Counsellor”

The witness for the Port Shepstone theft case is not legally represented and was initially reluctant to testify, but the Evidence Leaders insisted on more detailed testimony.

“this was not a witness intended to go in-camera... The witness would have been somewhat prepared to testify as to some facts, but it would have been a very superficial kind of testimony... the Evidence Leaders, drove the witness to disclose as much as possible, and I think to a point of discomfort for the witness.”
