Madlanga Commission Hears that Corrupt Networks Used Encrypted Messaging App Threema, With Auto-Deletion Features That Prevent Recovery of Criminal Communications to Cover Tracks in R300 Million Cocaine Investigation
Hawks Lt-Col Sebola testified at the Madlanga Commission that investigators recovered only screenshots from Threema chats on confiscated phones linked to the July 2021 Aeroton cocaine bust. Police seized 741 kg of cocaine worth R300 million from a container truck from Durban Harbour at Yellow Jersey Logistics in Aeroton, Johannesburg. The drugs were stored at a Pretoria police college and Gauteng forensic laboratory, from where 136 kg later disappeared.
Sebola explained Threema’s end-to-end encryption and permanent deletion of messages on both sender and recipient sides, with protected metadata making full recovery impossible without screenshots. In contrast, forensic tools can often extract even deleted messages from WhatsApp through database records, write-ahead logs, backups and cached data. Screenshots from Tumelo Nku (Phillip Plein) showed chats with “Alpha” about vessels, containers and a pricelist, but Sebola said they referred to a different shipment. Commissioner Madlanga questioned deletion processes, report authorship and requested a DPCI analyst affidavit.
Tumelo Nku tipped off Chief Samuel Mashaba, Gauteng traffic chief director, who coordinated with Warrant Officers Magane, Phakula and others to intercept the truck. The four — Mashaba, Magane, Phakula and Nku — were arrested and accused of attempting to hijack the cocaine consignment in an inside-job. The criminal case was later withdrawn, but the commission is examining evidence handling, scene irregularities, cellphone tracking and possible corruption. Cell tower data placed Nku in Durban on 7 July and along the N3 with the truck; he sent a Telegram location on 9 July.
"True leadership demands complete subjugation of self, honesty and integrity, uprightness of character, courage and fearlessness, and above all a consuming love for one's people". - Robert Mangaliso Sobukwe (1924 - 1978)
Colonel Sebola: Commissioners, things are happening, things have been happening. At some point I was deployed at OR Tambo. We confiscated dollars, we were instructed to take them back to the owner. We took the dollars to the Reserve Bank as per procedure, they declared them as something else other than dollars. We were instructed to take them back to the owner.
Protect this man! 😭 He spoke after a very long pause, and says there's more such cases. This Commission must not be closed. We must demand that the money be found.
