A new witness at the Madlanga Commission has testified that he found it unusual that Lieutenant-Colonel Kenneth Jacobs asked him questions about destroying cocaine exhibits before they had been analysed.
Warrant Officer Bheki Setshedi, a forensic drug analyst at the South African Police Service SAPS, was testifying earlier about the 541-kilogram cocaine consignment stolen from Hawks premises in Port Shepstone in 2021.
Setshedi told Commission Chairperson Justice Madlanga that it concerned him that Jacobs wanted a specific type of analyst to be involved in examining the exhibits.
