“The attached draft charge sheet outlines the acts committed by each of the seven suspects in a very comprehensive way, which includes charges of corruption, defeating or obstructing the administration of justice, and perjury”
Paragraph 5 of the affidavit refers to corruption allegations, which may meet thresholds different from the cover-up and theft described in paragraph 6.
“I will have a different view by just reading it and the view that I would have here that it does conform to that, because it touches on corruption. So what is different from 6, where it is talking about a cover-up and the theft, whereas 5 speaks to corruption.”
Colonel Padayachee expresses that it is painful for him to hear speculation in the media as he knows the truth because he was there and has served for 44 years committed to fighting corruption.
“It does hurt when I know the truth because I am there... I have served for 44 years. I have come back to assist to fight corruption... But people want to know the truth, so there will be uncomfortable moments”
