The Madlanga Commission of Inquiry has criticised a South African Police Service (SAPS) officer for failing to provide clear and satisfactory answers during testimony related to Tshwane tender allegations.
Commissioner Sesi Baloyi reprimanded SAPS officer Fannie Nkosi for what she described as evasive conduct after he repeatedly claimed he could not recall key details while giving evidence.
“You have taken a particular position that you are not going to be helpful. You are being obstructive. Your obligation is to assist the commission, which so far you haven’t been doing. It is to answer satisfactorily. Otherwise, you are committing an offence,” Baloyi said.
Nkosi defended his responses, maintaining that he was answering to the best of his ability and could not comment on matters he did not remember.
“I would not answer something that I’m not sure of. I would be defeating the very oath that I took,” Nkosi said.
The exchange highlights mounting tensions within the inquiry as the commission continues its investigation into alleged irregularities in Tshwane tenders.
