"This Makes NO Sense!" Commissioner Tears Apart Sissoko's Version Under Intense Cross-Examination
Matthews Sesoko is the National Head of Investigations and Operations at the Investigating Directorate Against Corruption (IDAC) and a former national head of investigations at IPID.
The Madlanga Commission erupted into a tense confrontation as senior IDAC official Moses Sissoko was challenged over one of the most controversial moments in the Crime Intelligence investigation.
Commissioners questioned why Sissoko facilitated the release of sensitive Crime Intelligence dockets after receiving nothing more than a phone call—without confirming whether the investigation had even been properly authorised.
The hearing then turned to Operation Diversion, where commissioners suggested Sissoko's version of events simply didn't add up. Did he really know nothing about the investigation? Or was he distancing himself from an operation already underway?
The drama intensified when commissioners dissected the controversial forklift procurement investigation, questioning whether the matter ever legally fell within IDAC's mandate. Sissoko insisted he remembered multiple forklifts costing millions, only for commissioners to point out that every document and witness referred to a single forklift—raising fresh contradictions under oath.
The hearing also examined why sensitive investigative information was allegedly being reported to the Minister of Police, prompting further concerns about interference and accountability.
Watch the full exchange as commissioners relentlessly test Sissoko's credibility and expose inconsistencies at the heart of one of the commission's most contentious investigations.
