Booysens Police Officers

Warrant Officer Phakula's statement that he proceeded to Alberton SAPS as informed because they might bring in the truck and driver to Alberton for detention matches exactly what Warrant Officer Magane told the Booysens Police officers.

“I then proceeded to Alberton SAPS as I was informed that they might be bringing the truck and the driver to Alberton for detention. It is a place where the crime scenes started initially. It is exactly what you say in your statement you told the Booysens police men.”

Advocate Baloyi alleges Warrant Officer Magane and Mashaba were middlemen in a drug consignment operation, did not call any drug enforcement role players, left before processing was complete, and lied about destination to Scania personnel.

“You so happened to be in the middle of it. You and Mashaba happened to be in the middle of it... you have not called a single role player involved with drug enforcement... no LCRC... no Booysens... they surprise you by arriving... You lie to them to say the drugs are going to your station... you lie to say they are going to Alberton... you are being untruthful about this... this whole operation was never... you would have played things by the book if there was intent... you had ulterior motives.”
