Sergeant Maja

working with drugs

Sergeant Maja is a South African Police Service officer attached to the SAPS Ekurhuleni K9 unit, rather than the Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Police Department’s K9 division. During the commission’s proceedings, testimony from a fellow officer described Maja as having been asleep when contacted, explaining that he had worked a night shift the previous evening. The account placed Maja in the context of operational responses under scrutiny, though the testimony did not elaborate on the specifics of his involvement or any broader findings against him.
