He also conceded that Hawks members interfered with Molefe’s arrest. Molefe was arrested for allegedly orchestrating the killing of engineer Armand Swart.

Four witnesses had detailed to the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry the possible interference by the Hawks in the arrest, executed by the SAPS, at Molefe's home in Sandton.

The Madlanga Commission of Inquiry is investigating allegations of collusion and corruption between politicians, senior police, prosecutors, intelligence operatives, and elements of the judiciary.
