Mbotho has testified that he gave instructions to Hawks Tactical Operations Head Brigadier Lesiba Mokoena to use a vehicle within the Sandton vicinity to investigate the alleged bogus police operation.
But evidence before the Commission has revealed that police officers as far as Pretoria North were called to go inspect the operation at Molefe’s house.
