Polygraph “errors” exonerate cop in Hawks 200m cocaine theft

from Good Morning Cape Town with Lester Kiewit · host CapeTalk

Lester Kiewit speaks to Ben Lombaard, co-founder of LieTech Polygraph & Forensic Services, about dramatic testimony in the Madlanga Commission. Policeman Karl Sander was previously told he failed a lie detector test over cocaine worth R200m stolen from Hawks’ KZN offices, which made him look as if he was complicit. Sander was in tears when he heard through the Commission, that the person administering the test had made errors, exonerating him. Lombaard has known Sander for most of his career, and discusses how polygraphs should be used as an investigative tool, and how it can also be abused by the corrupt.   Good Morning Cape Town with Lester Kiewit is a podcast of the CapeTalk breakfast show.  This programme is your authentic Cape Town wake-up call.
