The Madlanga Commission just heard IDAC’s Head of Investigations, Matthews Sesoko, say he was locked out of Project Diversion — the Crime Intelligence investigations run from Andrea Johnson’s office. Then Drushantha Ramsamy’s emails were put to him. By the end, he admitted it: he was involved.
This is the full document-led breakdown of Sesoko’s Madlanga Commission testimony — the signed Operations Manual, the 6 December Crime Intelligence docket call, the January 2025 meeting that put him “in the room,” the Cedric Nkabinde sequence, the ~R200,000 forklift mandate problem, the 4 June “Diversion arrest” email, and the Fannie Masemola allegation the Commission has NOT made a finding on.
⚠️ Everything here is testimony, affidavits and evidence placed before the Madlanga Commission on 6 August 2026 — allegations, not final findings. This is not a criminal court. No one named is guilty of a crime merely because evidence was led or an allegation was made.
