Sergeant Nkosi has told the Commission that Matlala had no reason to bribe him.

“My answer to that is false again. One, Mr. Matlala had no reason to pay the so-called bribe to me via card. to elaborate on that, I did not have anything or means to make nor to push Mr. Matlala to pay or bribe on me. I was not investigating him. I did not do him any favours,” says Sergeant Nkosi.
