"This Commission Wants to See Me Guilty When I’m Not!" — Gavin Jacob Hits Back

"This Commission Wants to See Me Guilty When I’m Not!" — Gavin Jacob Hits Back Adv Sello vs Gavin Jacob: Heated Fight Breaks Out at Madlanga Commission Lt-Col Gavin Jacob launched a passionate defence at the Madlanga Commission, accusing the inquiry of treating him as though he is already guilty before all the evidence has been heard. During a tense exchange with evidence leaders, Jacob pushed back against suggestions that he played a role in the disappearance of 541kg of cocaine stolen from SAPS custody. The confrontation quickly escalated as questions were raised about drug storage decisions, chain-of-custody failures, forensic procedures, and the controversial handling of one of South Africa's largest cocaine seizures. The hearing featured sharp exchanges involving Adv Sello, Commissioner Madlanga, and Jacob as the commission continued probing how the cocaine disappeared and whether warning signs were ignored long before the theft.
