Madlanga Commission | Suspended Hawks head Lesetja Senona hints at legal action over inquiry findings

Suspended Hawks KwaZulu-Natal head Major-General Lesetja Senona giving evidence at the Madlanga Judicial Commission of Inquiry on Friday.

Suspended KwaZulu-Natal Hawks head Major-General Lesetja Senona has hinted that he may take the final report of the Madlanga Judicial Commission of Inquiry on review should it contain adverse findings against him.

On Friday, Senona returned to give evidence at the commission, chaired by retired Constitutional Court Justice Mbuyiseli Madlanga, on the storage and later theft of 541kg of suspected cocaine with a street value of about R200 million from the Hawks' office in Port Shepstone in November 2021.

Commissioner Advocate Sandile Khumalo SC asked Senona about a complaint filed with the Hawks’ national head office in which the complainant could not be located due to a bogus or non-existent email address.

“Although it is not raised in the regulation 10(6) notice, but I will assist,” Senona said.
