Overview
- Brigadier Abraham Nkhwashu, who testified Wednesday at the Madlanga Commission, confirmed KT Molefe is his brother-in-law and denied trying to sway bail decisions or obtain the Swart docket for improper reasons.
- He said he sought the Swart docket as part of a province-wide push to gather J50 dockets, which are core case files tied to arrest warrants, for handover to Major-General Mbuso Khumalo.
- Pressed for proof, he conceded he could not produce any written instruction from Gauteng provincial commissioner Tommy Mthombeni authorising the docket collection.
- He said he delivered clothes to Molefe at Groenpunt prison after visiting hours, reported that staff refused food, and denied making a secret visit to discuss the case.
- The murder case stems from the April 17, 2024 killing of engineer Armand Swart in Vereeniging, and four suspects — Molefe, ex-officer Michael Tau, Musa Kekana and Tiego Floyd Mabusela — have been arrested.
