Businessman and alleged police informer Tumelo Nku is expected to return to the Madlanga Commission in Pretoria on Monday morning to continue his testimony.
Nku has been implicated in the Aeroton drug bust, which took place in the south of Johannesburg in 2021. He allegedly informed Gauteng traffic police chief Samuel Mashaba who is currently suspended about a drug consignment of more than 700 kilogrammes of cocaine destined for Johannesburg from Durban.
Nku, who began testifying last Thursday, did not continue with his evidence on Friday after requesting time to supplement his affidavit. He has been questioned extensively about why he was carrying more than R60 000 in cash on the day of the Aeroton drug bust. Although Nku has offered several explanations for having the money, the Commission has suggested that it was intended for something far more sinister. Proceedings are expected to resume at 9:30 this morning. I am Sibahle Motha in Pretoria.
