Lieutenant-Colonel Nkoana Joseph Sebola (DPCI/Hawks)
concedes that the arrest for dealing in drugs was premature
Lieutenant-Colonel Nkoana Joseph Sebola, a member of the Hawks (DPCI), served as an investigating officer in a high-profile matter before the commission. His testimony and the accounts of others describe him as deeply involved in the handling of suspects and physical evidence at a scene, where he was reportedly responsible for securing exhibits and coordinating with attending officers. He faced questions about his actions on the evening of an incident, including his role in directing a black Nissan bakkie loaded with sports bags and his communication with fellow officers. Sebola also acknowledged sending an implementation plan and receiving instructions by note, while his command over certain aspects of the investigation and his familiarity with Crime Intelligence personnel were queried during proceedings.
