Warrant Officer Setshedi
our go-to person
Warrant Officer Setshedi is a forensic drug analyst in the Chemistry Investigation Unit of the Forensic Science Laboratory in KwaZulu-Natal, holding a BSc in Chemistry from the University of KwaZulu-Natal, with Chemistry and Physics as majors. Reporting to Lieutenant Colonel Songca, he testified about his involvement in a drug seizure in Simbithi alongside Colonel Jacob. His testimony described a conversation with Jacob in which Jacob raised questions about destroying exhibits before analysis—something Setshedi found unusual, given that the exhibits had not yet been analysed. He expressed particular concern over Jacob’s inquiry about having a single team member analyse the case, which he considered strange.
