PRETORIA — A senior Hawks officer alleged that former Hawks boss Godfrey Lebeya has a connection to murder-accused Katiso "KT" Molefe. This was revealed when the officer testified before the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry on 3 November 2025.
According to Eyewitness News, the Hawks' Divisional Commander of the National Priority Offences Operations, Dumisani Mbotho, said that Lebeya is the one who sent him Molefe's address when he was arrested on 6 December. Mbotho said that Lebeya called him on that day and asked whether there was a Hawks operation in Sandton.
