Mr Sibande, director of Zinopindrane, paid 150,000 towards the purchase of bikes related to the Galito EFF spokesperson chats.
“Mr Sibande, who was the director of Mr Msibi's company, Zinopindrane, paid 150,000 towards the purchase of the bikes”
Sergeant Nkosi sent footage of the murder to Mr Sibande because they were talking about it and because Mr Sibande, nephew of Mr Mthakathi, knew the deceased.
“Because we were talking about it, myself, Mr Sibande, AKA's friend is a nephew to Mr Mthakathi. As a result, Mr Sibande knew the deceased”
Sergeant Nkosi sent Mr Sibande a YouTube clip about Mr Matlala that alleged involvement in fraud at Tembisa Hospital and other related allegations including misuse of blue lights and murder investigation.
“... you sent him a link to a clip on YouTube about Mr Matlala. ... It was about Mr Matlala, the allegations that he was involved in fraud at Tembisa Hospital, the fact that Babita Deokaran had been murdered while investigating that fraud, and the allegations that ... his then wife was using blue lights to take their children to school.”
Sergeant Nkosi was sharing the clip with Mr Sibande possibly as gossip about Mr Matlala, whom Mr Sibande also knew.
“I think his interest it was on the basis that he knew Mr Matlala, and Mr Matlala was someone, or is someone who also talked with Mr Sibande. ... I think it was a matter of maybe gossip ...”
Sergeant Nkosi stated that Mr Sibande is not a member of the EFF but he saved Mr Zenzi as an EFF spokesperson in his chats, although he admitted this was wrong.
“Does Mr Sibande hold a position in the EFF ? ... No , no , no , he does not . ... He is always with the EFF. I can say he is a member of the EFF . ... I might have saved him as EFF spokesperson , but he is not an EFF spokesperson . Maybe the problem is how I save these people . ... I said he is a member of the EFF , but he is not a spokesperson of the EFF .”
Sergeant Nkosi admitted he wrote 'EFF spokesperson' in brackets after Mr Sibande's name in his chats without the proper justification and said he saved him wrongly that way.
“I might have saved him as EFF spokesperson , but he is not an EFF spokesperson . Maybe the problem is how I save these people ... I said maybe this is how I saved him . I saved him wrongly .”
Sergeant Nkosi said he saved Mr Sibande as an EFF spokesperson because in interactions, EFF topics always come from him, even though he is not a spokesperson.
“When we interact with him most of the time , EFF things always come out of , from his mouth . So I just , I decided to save him as EFF spokesperson .”
