In testimony to the Madlanga Commission, Hawks witness Nyuswa says he is sceptical about the explanation that a safe heist was carried out by grinding through the safe door. Nyuswa tells the commission that he was not convinced thieves could access the strong room in that manner, and he notes that he has been assured the strong room cannot be opened without a key. His comments suggest the possibility that the incident may not have been carried out solely through forced entry, and he frames the matter as one that requires further scrutiny. The testimony focuses on the mechanics of how the safe was allegedly breached and whether that method is consistent with the security controls in place. The commission is considering the circumstances surrounding the incident and related claims, including how access to the strong room could have been obtained. Nyuswa’s account is presented as doubt about the purported technique of entry rather than a definitive claim of staging.
