The head of the Hawks in KwaZulu-Natal suspects that the theft of 541kg of cocaine with an estimated street value of R200m from a Hawks storage facility was an inside job, saying he suspects they were sold out by an insider.
Maj-Gen Lesetja Senona was being questioned on Thursday at the Madlanga commission about his reason to store the drugs at a Port Shepstone storeroom, which is about 100km away from where they were discovered in Isipingo, before they were stolen in November 2021.
He responded that the people who made the discovery told him the only storeroom with sufficient space was in Port Shepstone.
