KZN Hawks boss Leseja Senona returns to Madlanga Commission


Suspended KwaZulu-Natal Hawks Head Lesetja Senona is expected to take the stand at the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry in Pretoria on Monday morning.

The Commission returns to the Brigitte Mabandla Justice College following a two-week recess for the preparation of its second interim report.

Senona is a central figure in the investigation into the mysterious disappearance of 541 kilograms of cocaine worth R200 million in KZN in November 2021.

He is accused of authorising the transfer of the massive cocaine haul from the Isipingo police station to a Hawks storage facility in Port Shepstone.

General Senona is expected to respond to questions relating to his alleged involvement in the missing consignment.

Previous witnesses before the Commission have testified that Senona gave instructions for the more than R200-million consignment to be stored at the Hawks’ Port Shepstone facility, despite there being insufficient security at the premises.
