The Madlanga Commission has heard how Hawks Divisional Commissioner General Patrick Mbotho only found out during the Inquiry that officers dispatched to the residence of Katiso KT Molefe were not within the Johannesburg vicinity.
Mbotho has testified that he gave instructions to Hawks Tactical Operations Head Brigadier Lesiba Mokoena to use a vehicle within the Sandton vicinity to investigate the alleged bogus police operation.
But evidence before the Commission has revealed that police officers as far as Pretoria North were called to go inspect the operation at Molefes house.
