Commission criticises Lebeya over failure to act on cocaine probe
Hawks head Dr Godfrey Lebeya will continue testifying at the Madlanga Commission on Wednesday.
The Madlanga Commission has harshly criticized former Hawks national head Dr Godfrey Lebeya for neglecting investigations into potential negligence and misconduct surrounding the storage of a 541-kilogram cocaine consignment at Hawks premises in Port Shepstone, KwaZulu-Natal. Despite reports recommending further exploration and possible disciplinary action, Lebeya failed to launch disciplinary proceedings or ensure the recommendations were carried out.
Lebeya, who wrapped up his testimony, is set to return to the commission on Wednesday for additional cross-examination. Commissioner Sesi Baloyi firmly placed the blame on Lebeya as the head of the Hawks, stating that the failure to act on the mandated investigation's outcome is directly his responsibility and nobody else's.
