Inspector HT Moodley (50)joined the security police in Durban in early 1981. He was stationed at CR Swart Square. Although he had nothing to do with the planning, it was from here, at this security police office, where the assassination of Griffiths Mxenge was planned and executed.
According to his service record in the police, Moodley was criminally convicted in 1983 but, when a check was run against his ID number at the Criminal Records Centre, nothing showed up. However, his service record states he committed a crime and as a result there was a board of inquiry hearing, which sat to decide on his fitness to remain in the force.
A year after the hearing, he was transferred out of the security branch and transferred to Durban’s Umbilo police station. Since then he has served long periods in different places under Major General “Suiker” Britz. Britz is under investigation for his failure to solve political crimes.
Moodley now works for Britz in the national headquarters, Priority Crimes in Pretoria. The M&G sent several questions about Moodley and Britz to National Police Commissioner George Fivaz, but received no reply.
