Clive Naicker

Tow-truck operator, KwaZulu-Natal · Durban, KwaZulu-Natal

Named in evidence · has not testified

A KwaZulu-Natal tow-truck operator named in evidence before the Madlanga Commission on 13 August 2026 (Day 158) by Gregory Loftus, the father of tow-truck operator Bevan Loftus, who told the commission his son 'was murdered by the police under the guise of a legitimate police operation and at the instance of Clive Naiker, a competitor of Bevan in the tow truck industry and alleged drug dealer'. The allegation sits alongside IPID's evidence the previous day that the task team's commander received more than R2.5 million from the owner of a tow-truck company between August 2022 and December 2023 and more than R2.7 million connected to the killing. Naicker has not given evidence before the commission, has not answered any of this, and no court has considered it. He is presumed innocent, and nothing recorded here is a finding of any kind against him.

This profile summarises testimony and evidence given on the public record before the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry. It restates allegations as presented at the hearings and is not a finding of guilt, liability, or wrongdoing by any person.
