Lebeya testifies before the Madlanga Commission, addressing allegations connected to a seized cocaine consignment valued at about R200m. On Tuesday, he says he was not aware that Senona had been given the key to the facility where the drugs were stored, including spare keys, according to the reported account.
The testimony centers on who had access to the storage site and what Lebeya understood about the security arrangements. The exchange is presented as contested, with the phrasing attributed to the grilling indicating a choice between competing claims: either Senona is lying or Lebeya is not providing the correct account. The focus across the reporting is the handling of access credentials and responsibility surrounding the storage of the seized drugs.
While the coverage provided here includes only one outlet’s detail, it reflects the commission’s broader aim: to establish timelines, clarify decision-making, and determine whether any wrongdoing occurred in relation to the management of evidence and storage procedures.
