Sergeant Govender's statement clarifies that the seal was not broken in the presence of the ORS members at the scene, as they were called after the seal was already broken and the container opened.
“That the seal was not broken in their presence. In a sense that, he says, when they were called to the scene by Colonel Jacob, the seal was already broken and the container was open. So even on the claim, on the basis that it happened in their presence... is not factually correct if they are to be believed”
MAJ-GENSENONA suggests the possibility that Sergeant Govender or the information provided to compile the report was incorrect, but denies any intentional misleading.
“Maybe this Sergeant is lying or the information that was provided to compile this report is incorrect, but it is not me who intentionally misled”
MAJ-GENSENONA does not know Sergeant Govender personally and therefore cannot verify the accuracy of his statement.
“Even this Sergeant Govender that the SC is referring to, I do not even know this person”
