Cocaine Heist and Vanished Evidence | Johannesburg News
Description
A massive 541kg cocaine bust in Port Shepstone in 2021 has turned into a scandal as drugs vanished from a Hawks safe—raising alarms about evidence handling. Testimony from Warrant Officer Mbongeleni Mpangase reveals shocking details: the Hawks’ KZN commander held both safes’ keys, while Colonel Gavin Jacob, on leave, cut his vacation short to join the bust—then vanished back into vacation mode. Meanwhile, lawyers for businessman Suliman Carrim seek a postponement, adding to the mounting pressure. The Madlanga Commission is now under the microscope as it tries to untangle a web of mismanagement, missing evidence, and questionable conduct.
