Constable De Gouveia

Constable De Gouveia is a police officer whose name surfaced during the commission’s proceedings in connection with an operation at a particular house. Warrant Officer Nkosi testified that De Gouveia was communicating from the team involved in that operation, and that the two groups greeted one another in a familiar manner, as if they knew each other. Nkosi also noted that he and De Gouveia had attended a Special Task Force selection course together, which may have explained the apparent recognition. The testimony raised questions about the nature of the interaction, though no conclusions were drawn about De Gouveia’s conduct or role beyond what was described.
