drugs shipment

Mr Nku became aware of a potential arms and contraband shipment including drugs during the last week of April 2021 from confidential sources and shared this information with Lieutenant General Sindile Mfazi in late June 2021.

“I first became aware of the potential shipment during the last week of April 021 through confidential sources. At that stage, the information was preliminary and indicated a possible shipment involving arms, contraband, including drugs. I shared this information with Lieutenant General Sindile Mfazi, whom I was initially introduced to by former Deputy Minister of Defence, Kebby Maphatsoe, as he expressed that Lieutenant General Mfazi was his compatriot in exile. Further details were received and shared in late June 2021.”

Mr Nku told Chief Mashaba that the drugs were already in the truck by Thursday night 8 July 2021 and no longer just a suspicion but confirmed information.

“when he speaks to you on the 8th of July, Thursday the 8th of July, he already knew positively that the drugs were there . And I am suggesting to you that he told you the drugs are there already on Thursday night, not Friday morning. He knew positively because he says he knew on the 7th of July already.”
