KZN Hawks head, Maj-Gen. Lesetja Senona, who never took a polygraph test after the R200 million drugs were stolen from Port Shepstone, is expected to return to the Madlanga Commission on Friday.
As the head, he is set to shed light on the 2021 seizure of the 541kg of cocaine in KZN, which later vanished from the Hawks’ organised crime offices.
This week the commission heard how the drugs disappeared, with evidence suggesting the theft may have been an inside job rather than a simple security failure.
In his last appearance, Senona detailed how a cocaine seizure became one of the security failures in recent policing history.
Inside, officers found 27 canvas bags, each containing 20 one-kilogram bricks of cocaine.
The bricks were wrapped in black and yellow plastic.
Senona confirmed that after the seizure, he authorised the transportation of the drugs to the Port Shepstone DPCI offices.
The cocaine was placed in a walk-in strongroom previously used to store mandrax and hashish.
Access, he said, was regulated through a key-booking system, with restricted entry points and controlled movement.
Despite these measures, the entire stash was later stolen.
The theft was discovered when the investigating officer reported the exhibits missing, triggering an internal investigation and a forensic inspection.
The commission heard that suspects allegedly gained entry by breaking into a hardware store adjacent to the police offices, vaulting a partition gate and forcing their way into the DPCI building.
His testimony is expected to begin at 9:30am.
