Counter-Intelligence ops was next target after PKTT disbandment

THE Gauteng Counter-Intelligence operations (GCI ops) became the new target when it emerged that none of the 121 dockets removed from the Political Killings Task Team (PKTT) were linked to the arrest of murder-accused businessman Katiso ‘KT’ Molefe and the search and seizure at the home of attempted murder-accused tenderpreneur, Vusimuzi ‘Cat’ Matlala.

The PKTT was disbanded on December 31 last year when Police Minister Senzo Mchunu wrote a letter directing Police Commission Fannie Masemola to action his instruction.

This was followed by Deputy National Commissioner for Crime Detection, Lieutenant General Shad-rack Sibiya’s instruction to recall all case dockets under the PKTT.

Crime Intelligence Divisional Commissioner Lieutenant-General Dumisani Khumalo told the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry this week that after Molefe and Matlala’s dockets were not found among the 121 from the PKTT, the GCI ops became the new target.

He said there were multiple efforts directed at the GCI ops, including an attempt to take away investigation dockets linked to Molefe.
