LIVESTREAM | R200m cocaine theft back in focus at Madlanga Commission

PRETORIA - Hawks officer Deena Govender is expected back at the Madlanga Commission on Monday.

He will give further evidence about the theft of a R200-million cocaine consignment in Port Shepstone.

Govender wanted parts of his testimony to be heard behind closed doors, but commissioners denied his request over the weekend.

However, three measures have been put in place to protect the witness and sensitive information.

Govender will not have to identify witnesses linked to the investigation into the alleged theft.

He will also not have to disclose specific police strategies, investigative techniques or intelligence-gathering methods.

Evidence relating to Witness P’s in-camera testimony about a counter-intelligence operation targeting drug gangs in Durban will also be heard in camera.
