Joe ‘Ferrari’ Sibanyoni denies corrupt Putco deal
Mpumalanga taxi boss Joe “Ferrari” Sibanyoni has denied corrupt dealings with bus operator Putco, telling the Madlanga Commission that his talks with government officials aimed to support the KwaNdebele community.
Justice Madlanga has rebuked taxi boss Joe Sibanyoni for suggesting that questions about bus company PUTCO were becoming personal during the Madlanga Commission inquiry. The comment came after Sibanyoni suggested that the commission's investigators, including Chief Evidence Leader Advocate Matthew Chaskalson, were engaging in improper behavior by interacting with PUTCO.
Madlanga firmly rejected Sibanyoni's accusation, stating that there was nothing improper about the commission or its investigators consulting with PUTCO on matters relevant to the inquiry. He emphasized that suggesting otherwise amounted to imputing impropriety, which was not the case. Madlanga emphasized that Chaskalson was acting within his rights to engage with PUTCO, and there was nothing wrong with that.
