Witness A said documents related to Transnet tenders and pages of signatures were recovered during the search and seizure operation.

Swart’s company, Q-Tech, blew the whistle on massive price inflation by the SK Group who were supplying Transnet Freight Rail with products acquired from Q-Tech.

Swart was gunned down outside Q-Tech’s premises in April 2024.

Witness A alleges that during a search and seizure operation at Molefe’s Sandhurst home in December 2024, they uncovered troves of documents related to Transnet tenders.

"These documents were relating to different companies. It seems like these documents had a lot to do with Transnet, applying for tenders with Transnet, registration for companies."

Witness A claims that Molefe denied having anything to do with the documents, claiming his son and nephew were the ones using the office where the documents were found.

"There was about two pages that were full of signatures that you could see this person was practising signatures using different pens."

During the raid, members of the Hawks arrived and demanded to be briefed on what was going on.

Witness A claims they were acting on instructions of former national Hawks head, Godfrey Lebeya.
