From R65,000 in cash to claims of a wrongful arrest, here are the biggest revelations from Tumelo Nku's testimony.
Businessman and police informant Tumelo Nku spent two days before the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry defending his role in the 2021 Aeroton cocaine bust, fielding tough questions over R65,000 in cash, his relationship with police and the circumstances surrounding his own arrest.
