Boysen

Assistant Director Maphosho agrees that the statement by Morriss explaining the condition of the bags is not contradictory to Nortje's assertion that the bags were not tampered with, clarifying that damage occurred due to handling and transport.

“... the few unique forensic bags was damaged from the handling of the drug exhibits . The weight of the drugs in those bags and the moving of the drugs from Boysen to Pretoria West Training College and to the FSL . He says they suffered damage because of that . Now that is no contradiction to Nortje saying that they were not tampered with .”
