ALLEGED links between slain underworld kingpin Cyril Beeka and former Anti-Gang Unit boss Major-General Andre Lincoln have arisen at the Charl Kinnear murder trial.
The claims made by murder-accused Nafiz Modack before Judge Robert Henney came under scrutiny on Wednesday as he returned to the witness stand.
Modack, who is accused of tracking Lieutenant-Colonel Kinnear and his colleagues in the months leading up to his murder, appeared annoyed as the State meticulously probed him on cellphone evidence between himself and his co-accused Amaal Jantjies.
Jantjies and former berk Janick Adonis are accused of helping Modack plot a grenade attack on the home of Kinnear in November 2019.
In the cross examination, State prosecutor Advocate Greg Wolmarans, questioned Modack extensively on his communication patterns with Jantjies.
Communications between the two revealed that Modack alleged to have evidence of how Lincoln had allegedly shot himself in the foot in the presence of Beeka while being gesuip.
In a voicenote to Jantjies, he says: "Ek vra as hy weet Lincoln het homself in geskiet in sy voet een aand van hy gesuip gewees het by Cyril Beeka. But moenie my die recordings aanstuur vir hulle nie, hulle kan net luister. So Lincoln wag ek moet daai ding release maar ek gaan dit nog nie release nie' (sic).
Henney questioned why Modack found this relevant to reveal to Jantjies.
The judge said: "The impression is you wanted to show you had a hold over them."
In response, Modack said he never planned to use the evidence to prevent the Anti-Gang Unit from investigating him but says: "It was to show he is not who he says he is".
He also further claimed that Lincoln was affiliated to slain businessman Mark Lifman.
This comes amid a slew of claims Modack has made since taking the stand last month.
To date he has accused several former high-ranking police officers of colluding with underworld figures and this week in communications with Jantjies, she claimed alleged Sexy Boys gang boss, Jerome "Donkie" Booysen of being a police informant.
Booysen has since rubbished Jantjies' claims, saying she fabricated stories so Modack could pay her.
