“I left Pretoria Central Police Station to assist the team who were on an active manhunt to find Lucky Molefe... On 7 December 2024... I received a call from Colonel Mokoena who asked why I had not reported the arrest of Molefe ... because Brigadier Gopane instructed shortly after Tau, Kekana and Mabusela's first appearance on 19 April 2024 not to report to anyone other than her regarding the murder case.”
