JUST IN | Nku testimony postponed indefinitely due to ‘security concerns’

Suspected drug trafficker Tumelo Nku’s testimony at the Madlanga Commission has been postponed for security reasons. 

Nku was scheduled to testify at the commission on Thursday, following a postponement earlier this week. 

“There are security concerns about Nku. We cannot hear his testimony. The hearing of his testimony is being postponed indefinitely.”

The commission has been questioning Nku about his alleged involvement and knowledge of the 2021 cocaine seizure, including his previous claim that he was a police source who tipped off Gauteng police about a truck transporting cocaine from Durban to Johannesburg.

When he resumed testifying earlier this week, Nku said his spiritual leader urged him to return to the commission, telling him, “The Lord will take care of the rest.”

The commission will resume on Friday morning.
