accused 7

The charges formulated allege that accused 7 granted gratification to other officers, which the questioner argues is an inversion of the typical charge formulation where accused 7 would receive gratification, not give it.

“you have gone ahead to formulate a charge that says they gave her gratification”

The alternative count of fraud alleges collusion and conspiracy among seven accused, involving a late application submission by accused 7 Mokwele, which was accepted despite being received after the closing date.

“if one looks at the misrepresentations, the first one on page 70, because I said conspiracy, section 21, they conspired, all seven of them, alternatively fraud... the application of accused number, Mokwele, was submitted late”

There was collusion between accused 7 and panel members, including General Ncube who helped with security vetting, involving use of the Inkwazi system improperly to register accused 7 as she did not have a PERSAL number and was not a police officer.

“accused 7 meets with one of the panel members and, I think it is General Ncube,... accused 7 meets with accused 6, Ncube, who helps her to apply for security vetting... they then use the Inkwazi system... she could not be loaded onto the prescribed SAPS system because at the time she did not have a PERSAL number... accused 7 and Ncube then decide they register her on a thing... a day before the interviews, there is this collusion”
