StateCaptureInquiry | 'For a lack of a better word, when Ntlemeza was appointed, all hell broke loose within the Hawks.'

"It was the first time in my police career that I had been summoned to a meeting on the morning of New Year's Day … On my arrival I called to ask him where he was and he told me he was on the 17th floor with the provincial commissioner," Booysen said.

At the time, KZN police commissioner Mmamonnye Ngobeni was one of the main suspects in a Hawks investigation into alleged corruption in the controversial 2010 World Cup police accommodation scandal involving Durban businessman Thoshan Panday."After about 15 minutes, Ntlemeza joined me in the office and asked me what my equity profile looked like. He complained that I had too many Indians here .

Booysen mentioned a second instance where Ntlemeza allegedly travelled to Cape Town to meet Col Kobus Roelofse, who at the time was investigating the looting of Crime Intelligence's secret service account. "He indirectly intimidated Col Kobus Roelofse and later he took the investigation away from him," Booysen alleged.
