I honestly didn't realize Chief Mashaba is this tall. There's refence in one of the statements where the Scania people say "especially the tall one". 😅 I didn't know they were referring to him. His face when he's sitting can deceive you. #MadlangaCommission
🎈‼️🔥 This is breaking news.... Commissioner Baloyi just summarized Chief Mashaba's testimony and concluded that he is part of a organised criminal syndicate that is engaged in unlawful activities!
Bring that Friday van people!

Witness I testified about the Sun City case (6 August 2024), where TOMS arrested 17 suspects and seized 32 firearms. Lt Col Kgekoane arrived, claiming he was there on instruction from Lt Gen Mboto (then KZN DPCI provincial head) to take over the case. Witness I described a phone call with Gen Mboto, who insisted the firearms belonged to a security company and were legal—despite the suspects being in civilian clothing with no permits. He said Mboto was on the phone with Kgekoane most of the night. After midnight, National Head Lt Gen Lebeya called, initially suggesting that if the firearms were registered, they could be handed back—but after Witness I explained that shots had been fired at the public two days earlier, Lebeya said he would not interfere. The next morning, Brigadier Smith relayed that Mboto wanted the entire TOMS team to make new statements, claiming the originals might be incomplete. Witness I believed this was an attempt to make the suspects appear innocent. He refused to let Kgekoane instruct his members on what to write, insisting they state "what really transpired." He later learned the suspects never went to court and the 32 firearms were returned. He reported the matter to IPID (no action) and wrote to the Portfolio Committee on Police chairperson Ian Cameron—who asked for a meeting topic but never followed up after being told it concerned "conduct of General Mboto and Brigadier Mokwena." #MadlangaCommission
