‘I have no knowledge’: Lebeya denies knowing Big Five Cartel | Madlanga Commission
Lebeya told the commission on Wednesday that he was unaware of the alleged syndicate and had no knowledge of the criminal activities reportedly associated with late taxi boss Jotham “King Mswazi” Msibi.
Retired Hawks head Dr Godfrey Lebeya has denied knowledge of the alleged Big Five Cartel and its suspected members during testimony before the Madlanga Commission. Despite evidence pointing to prominent individuals like Jotham "King Mswazi" Msibi, Katiso "KT" Molefe, and others, Lebeya claimed he was unaware of the criminal activities associated with the group.
The commission has presented photographs of people allegedly linked to the cartel, but Lebeya's testimony has been challenged by former senior police officials, who described some associates as "dangerous." Lebeya also denied interfering with a Hawks operation targeting Molefe in 2024, stating he deployed officers to verify the arrest after receiving a call from a civilian named Malcom X.
