The Madlanga Commission has heard the Hawks’ offices in Port Shepstone from where 541-kilogram of cocaine was stolen in 2021 were used for administration purposes and operated during working hours.
This according to retired Hawks member, Lieutenant Colonel Jakobus Prinsloo who took the stand this morning.
He has testified that the Port Shepstone Hawks offices operated between 7:30am and 4pm weekdays and would normally be closed on the weekends.
“There was a serviced electric fence around the perimeter fence, safe for the part which was bordering the liquor authority. Obviously, when there was load shedding, the electric fence would not work.”
“The office had no generator or electric backup. There were no cameras or beams outside the office. Further, there was no alarm system monitoring movement on the outside or exterior of the building,” he explains.
