Advocate Rodney De Kock

Advocate Rodney De Kock is a legal figure whose correspondence became a point of scrutiny during the commission’s proceedings. Testimony described him as having written to Mr Eksteen in January 2024, agreeing with the Director of Public Prosecutions’ recommendation not to pursue a prosecution, and later responding with an email in June 2024 outlining his reasons. He was also linked to a report that identified material contradictions between the versions of SAPS officials involved in a general disciplinary hearing. His role in these matters drew attention as the commission examined the handling of disciplinary and prosecutorial decisions.
