Lieutenant Colonel Ludick

same role as Colonel Steyn in Gauteng

Lieutenant Colonel Ludick is a South African Police Service officer currently heading a section under SANEB in Limpopo, a posting he has held since November 2022. His testimony before the commission focused on his involvement at an explosives scene, where he described evacuating people and receiving reports from Jolene Wentzel about individuals being identified as Crime Intelligent Hawks. He faced questions about why he was not informed that Warrant Officer Phakula was in charge of the scene, and about contact with General Kadwa. Colonel Steyn indicated that Ludick had appointed Captain Sebola as the investigating officer. Fellow officer Lieutenant Colonel Sebola testified that Ludick arrived with General Kadwa and Brigadier Lewela and ordered people to stop at a distance from the scene.
