Mr Mnisi was not aware that Deputy Commissioner Dhlamini had received the letter regarding the termination matter.

Sergeant Nkosi was involved in handling the termination letter matter but back channel communication through Nkosi raised suspicions.

We also know from that evidence that Commissioner Dhlamini, Deputy Commissioner Dhlamini, seems to have been involved in advising about the Ngaphesheya tender where it did not comply, advising this is how you fix it, we need this and that to be fixed.”
