Investigative Directorate Against Corruption (IDAC) State Advocate Drushantha Ramsamy became visibly emotional during her testimony before the Madlanga Commission this afternoon.
Ramsamy, who will return to the Commission on a date yet to be announced, was testifying about a Section 28(1) application that is used to initiate an official investigation into high-level complex crimes.
She told evidence leader Advocate Lee Seegels-Ncube that the application in the matter involving Crime Intelligence Brigadier Dineo Mokwele was attributed to her, despite not having drafted it.
Counsel: You say you did not prepare that document.
Ramsamy: Correct.
Counsel: And you say that not only did you not prepare it, but that investigation couldn’t have been authorized by Advocate Johnson on the 30th of May, 2025.
Ramsamy: Correct.
Counsel: And then you tell us why you say so at 32.
Ramsamy: During the meeting on the 27th of May 2025…(pauses)
Counsel: Take your time.
Ramsamy: Advocate Johnson instructed me to prepare one umbrella Section 28(1) for all crime intelligence matters… (pauses again). May I please have a moment?
