Colonel Hennie Erasmus

office mandated to deal with recommendations
Colonel Hennie Erasmus, a South African Police Service officer, featured prominently in testimony for his role as the collator of a docket and an investigator who compiled an investigation report. He was described as approaching Brigadier Mkhwanazi and later lawyers to add charges, and it was decided he should keep the docket secure in his office safe. Questions arose about his conduct in May 2023, when he reportedly sought compliance support from a legal advisor to obtain favourable comments for extending a colleague's suspension. He faced scrutiny over whether he was merely seeking guidance on the extension process or trying to influence the outcome.
