FS L Amanzimtoti did not have storage capacity for 541kg of cocaine due to flooding issues affecting the storage safe on the ground floor.
“the challenge is our lab in Amanzimtoti was situated at a flood plain zone... So with that, the floods also contributed in us having limited space now in our safe.”
It was well known that FS L Amanzimtoti did not have space to store large quantities of drugs, and any storage request would require FS L Amanzimtoti to contact FS L Pretoria.
“At the time, it was well known that FS L Amanzimtoti simply did not have the space to store such large quantity of drugs. Therefore, if I was told that DPCI needed the members to collect the exhibits, not just to assist in sampling, I would have informed DPCI and that FS L Amanzimtoti did not have space and had I been told about the quantity. If in any event, DPCI members already knew that FS L Amanzimtoti does not have the capacity to store such large quantities, the safe is not big enough. However, there was never a discussion about FS L receiving exhibits. The discussion was only about sampling.”
