The messages show that Mogotsi promised to arrange a meeting with the police minister and a man called Sibiya, before the disbandment of the political killings task team.
Khumalo says the disbandment letter triggered a misinformation campaign against the task team and its members.
He will be back on the witness stand on Wednesday.
