🚨BOMBSHELL THREAD: The Choncho Docket Scandal Just Exploded in the Nkabinde Inquiry 🔥
1/12
EXPLOSIVE twist in the #NkabindeInquiry - the missing Choncho docket that could blow the entire Cato Manor racketeering case wide open has been found… in the hands of a Cato Manor cop who killed 13 people.
The room went DEAD SILENT yesterday (27 March 2026). Here’s what went down. 😱

Superintendent Choncho’s murder triggered everything.
After he was gunned down, KwaMaphumulo Taxi Association members were slapped on a hit list and assassinated by the Cato Manor unit.
Rumour: Choncho was killed for cash by rivals (Stanger Taxi Association) using an R5 rifle - the state’s own gun. Two witnesses who backed the claim & pointed to Cato Manor Unit? Killed.

🚨CHAUK E BOMBSHELL DAY 2 at #NkabindeInquiry:
"DA vs JZ" enters the chat. Batohi withdrew racketeering charges against Johan Booysen & Cato Manor unit stemming from a meeting she had with Booysen's legal team - 2 weeks after taking office - without proper legal process or consulting the actual prosecutors. More cherry-picking exposed. 🔥⚖️🧵1.. 2/..Chauke Testifies #NkabindeInquiry
Key bombshell on withdrawal:
Proper procedure requires a formal submission by the accused (Booysen) for withdrawal of charges.
No such submission was found.
Instead, Batohi held a private meeting mid-Feb 2019 with her team of lawyers and Booysen's lawyers. She never consulted the prosecutorial team - not Adv Moipone Noko, not even Adv Andrew Chauke.

Chauke Testifies
#NkabindeInquiry
Yesterday, Chauke exposed how then NDPP Shamila Batohi DELIBERATELY withheld an EXONERATING memo from President @CyrilRamaphosa @PresidencyZA - and treated it like a "confidential" secret even from HIM. Would the President have launched this fitness inquiry if he'd seen the full picture? 🔥⚖️ @mmkubayi 🧵/1/.Image 2/..Chauke Testifies #NkabindeInquiry
DE Kock Memo (Feb 2023): Late Adv Rodney de Kock (then senior NPA/Deputy NDPP) reviewed ALL opinions on Chauke's handling of Cato Manor racketeering + Mdluli murder dockets. His clear conclusion? NO BASIS for any fitness inquiry. Chauke had given satisfactory explanations. No bad faith. Pursuit "not worthwhile."

🧵1/..Why Adv Batohi is in serious trouble and it’s not politics, it’s law
1️⃣ Last week, Adv Ngcukaitobi cross-examined Adv Moipone Noko, former KZN DPP. What emerged wasn’t just incompetence - it was a constitutional problem.
#NkabindeInquiry 🔥🔥🔥 Image 2/..
2️⃣ Noko testified there was prima facie evidence of coordinated, unlawful conduct by Cato Manor police officers.
Not rogue cops.
A system
Racketeering charges warranted:
•coordination from management
•execution by officer
•a clear modus operandi
Textbook racketeering

"I watched white lawyers sitting with Michael Hulley who represented Zuma for 10yrs of my life there, not a black advocate, white...they were never associated with his cause. No one ever said Kemp is a Zuma man after 15 yrs of being his lawyer...Not ever was he called a Zuma man" "Inherent in this accusation [that Im a Zuma man] for a man I have only represented for 2yrs when he doesnt have power is because Im Black. Because we're Black we incapable of being professional in what we are doing, we are not professional, we are not clever".

A young man JV Esterhuyse compiled a book based on questions about what young people thought of Ntate Mandela.
He put together a manuscript & presented a proposal to @NMCF_SA/ Foundation. Achmat Dangor accepted the proposal & NMFC endorsed the book.
JV was then to source donors The Nelson Mandela Children's Fund/Foundation then gave him an advance to seek donors.
JV went to London, got BBC interested & other donors. BBC wanted the book to have a foreword by uTata.
This never came through despite manuscript having been given to Zelda to forward to Tata
