Madlanga Commission serves taxi boss Joe Sibanyoni with notice

It is believed that Sibanyoni will have to answer questions relating to criminal syndicates.

The Madlanga Commission has issued a Rule 10.6 Notice to Mpumalanga taxi boss Joe 'Ferrari' Sibanyoni, mandating him to answer questions about matters under investigation. Sibanyoni's legal counsel has informed SABC News of receipt of the correspondence and declined further comment. The Commission, however, will maintain silence on the testimonies or appearances of witnesses unless a specific issue is raised during an open hearing. Sibanyoni is expected to be questioned about criminal syndicates.

The Commission continues to hear new witnesses on Thursday morning. They are set to examine further testimony related to KwaZulu-Natal gangs, alleged hit squads, and any potential involvement of the police. Additionally, it has been reported that a South African Police Service (SAPS) officer, Witness P, has requested to have his testimony heard in camera on Friday.

His request is due to concerns over matters uncovered during a covert counterintelligence operation involving an organized drug gang. Witness P is set to testify on the same day as North-West businessman Sulieman Carrim, yet Commission spokesperson Jeremy Michaels has assured that Witness P's testimony will not impact matters concerning Carrim.
