Madlanga Commission hears evidence on Sindane’s access to SAPS info
Sindane's possession included internal shooting reports, on the murder of a police officer
The Madlanga Commission in Pretoria has delved into evidence suggesting that taxi industry figure Oupa "Bafana" Sindane was in possession of confidential South African Police Service (SAPS) information. The alleged SAPS data reportedly included internal shooting reports, a report on a police officer's murder, and a letter purportedly from National Police Commissioner General Fannie Masemola.
Advocate Matthew Chaskalson, evidence leader, expressed concerns over Sindane's access to a comprehensive police report concerning the murder of Sergeant Marcus Lekalakala. Chaskalson highlighted that the report detailed "who the role players on the scene were up to the level of Major General." He further pointed out that the report was from the Organised Crime Investigation Unit under General Lekalakala.
The testimony raises questions about the potential inside-source scenario, where someone within the SAPS is feeding Sindane with internal reports and specific details about the investigation into the murder.
