Alberton SAPS Detectives

Chief Mashaba sought assistance to conduct a search on the truck suspected of carrying drugs but initially did not get help from Warrant Officers Phokungwane and Magane or Lebo from PIU, Gauteng. Magane later became available and assisted.

“I needed backup to conduct such a process ... I contacted Warrant Officer Phokungwane ... he was not available ... He also could not refer me to anyone else on duty at Alberton SAPS ... However, he gave me Warrant Officer Magane's contact number ... I phoned Warrant Officer Magane for assistance ... he told me he could not assist at that moment ... I then phoned Lebo from PIU, Gauteng ... who told me he does not have a motorcar and could not assist as well ... I phoned Warrant Officer Magane again ... fortunately, he was now available and he agreed to come to assist.”
