John

Mr Mogotsi does not know the real name or surname of 'John' referenced in a WhatsApp message and cannot identify him as he no longer has his phone which was taken by the police.

“this message I think was forwarded to me because the language written here, there is no way he and me can speak in this language ... I do not know if his numbers ... I cannot find this John”

Mr Mogotsi's phone, which contained contact information for 'John', was taken by the police and he can no longer provide any identifying information about John.

“It was taken by the police ... So you do not have your phone anymore so you cannot tell me who John is”

Mr Mogotsi indicates he has only had the number of John in his phone but does not know John’s full name or surname.

“John was in my phone. I do not know his surname. So if you say I should go and look for him, I cannot find him”

Mr Mogotsi offered to assist the process of identifying names and numbers in his possession through his lawyers but currently does not know who John is and has no phone containing those contacts.

“if there is anything which perhaps Senior Counsel may want to be, if it can be done with my lawyers ... I did talk about the names, I am ready ... I can get the lawyers to even submit them to Senior Counsel ... At this juncture, he does not know who John is, he does not have his phone”

There is only one informant named John from Pakistan in Sergeant Nkosi's phone contacts.
