Glebelands Hostel: Witnesses expose how cops were complicit in the killings

When the sitting started on August 26, accused number one, former Durban Central plain clothes detective Bhekukwazi Mdweshu, sat next to his co-accused with his head high, chin jutting out, listening intently to crime scene investigators.

The various defence counsels have taken full advantage of the flawed evidence of witnesses, one of whom was previously charged with attempted murder – the case was later withdrawn – and one who has been accused by some at the Glebelands hostel of murder, although the man insists the allegation was stoked by some of the accused.

The measures taken by Paver and Sikhakhane are hardly excessive – witnesses to the Glebelands carnage are known to be snuffed out, a bullet to the head appearing to be the preferred method of killing them. The court also heard of cops on the take, cops making evidence – and allegedly witnesses – disappear and cops supplying illegal weapons in exchange for cash.

Mdweshu allegedly oversaw the extortion of “protection money” from residents at Block 52 of Glebelands hostel, which was then used to buy the firearms.
