Comissão Madlanga: depoimento revela suposto interesse de Shibiri no contrato SAPS de Matlala

Continuando sua investigação sobre os laços do major-general suspenso da SAPS Richard Shibiri com Vusimuzi ‘Cat’ Matlala, a Comissão Madlanga em Pretória ouviu o sargento Fannie Nkosi, da Unidade de Crime Organizado de Gauteng, que testemunhou ter encaminhado diretamente a Shibiri capturas de tela das queixas de Matlala sobre atrasos nos pagamentos do contrato SAPS.

A Comissão de Inquérito Madlanga, que investiga a conduta policial incluindo as interações de Shibiri com Matlala — previamente destacadas em interrogatório cruzado mostrando comunicações frequentes —, recebeu evidências do sargento Fannie Nkosi em 16 de março. Nkosi, da Unidade de Crime Organizado de Gauteng, disse que enviou três capturas de tela de mensagens de Matlala a Shibiri após Matlala se queixar com ele sobre atrasos nos pagamentos da SAPS relacionados ao seu contrato. nCommissioner Sesi Baloyi questionou Nkosi sobre o envolvimento de Shibiri: “Qual era o interesse dele nisso? Ele não é quem está comprando o serviço ou usando o serviço. Ele não é quem está fazendo os pagamentos ou autorizando os pagamentos. Qual seria o interesse dele?” Nkosi respondeu que o interesse de Shibiri decorria da queixa que Matlala transmitiu por telefone. nA comissão encerrou a sessão e deve retomar na manhã de terça-feira.
