New Jersey

Adv Baloyi SC suggested that Chief Mashaba did not operationalize at New Jersey and acted on the advice of suspects in possession of the Yellow Jersey truck, which led to aborted action at that location likely because he feared they did not trust him and might call the police on him.

“...that you did not operationalize this at New Jersey, you tell us you acted on advice of people who are suspects themselves. You acted on their advice. It does not make sense. And then I say, this is what it looks like, it looks like you aborted Yellow Jersey because you saw these people do not trust you, thought they will call the police on you, and you were hoping at the second location you will be able to take the drugs and do a quick get away, which I suggest you were doing with a black van.”
