Not Mkhulu de Kock snitching on the NPA.🤣😭 He says prosecutors never asked him to identify the generals who instructed security police to carry out murders and other unlawful operations. He claims he was ready to give them the information and drop names, but the NPA never approached him, never took statements, or asked questions. He further alleges that senior generals and political leaders were protected while he alone went to prison. 😮‍💨There’s a LOT we’re still going to hear in this TRC inquiry.
