A new witness at the Madlanga Commission has been testifying in Pretoria about a murder scene in Brakpan, Ekurhuleni, where EMPD Deputy Police Chief Julius Mkhwanazi was allegedly called to assist in cleaning it up.
Witness D is testifying partially camera where only his voice is audible. He has testified that the deceased was allegedly suffocated. His testimony corroborates that of suspended Police Chief Jabulani Mapiyeye and retired Deputy Police Chief Revo Spies who testified about Brigadier Mkhwanazis alleged involvement at the crime scene.
Witness D elaborates, Chief superintended Mkhwanazi said that the body should be thrown in the mine shaft or dumped into a dam. You make the point of stating that when he said that he looked at you. What did you interpret that to mean? Commissioners it was clear at this stage that it was expected from me to dispose of the deceased body. As I said especially after the meeting took place between themselves.
