Sibanyoni alleges Shadrack Sibiya received instructions from late taxi boss Jotham Msibi | Madlanga Commission
Joe 'Ferrari' Sibanyoni told the Madlanga Commission that Shadrack Sibiya regularly visited the late taxi boss Jotham Msibi’s Hammanskraal farm and received instructions from him.
Mpumalanga taxi boss Joe "Ferrari" Sibanyoni has implicated suspended SAPS deputy commissioner Shadrack Sibiya in the alleged network of the late taxi boss Jotham Msibi, testifying before the Madlanga Commission. According to Sibanyoni, Sibiya visited Msibi's farm in Hammanskraal regularly, where influential figures were also present.
Additionally, EFF leader Julius Malema allegedly frequented the farm. This claim arose after EFF leader Matthew Chaskalson questioned Sibanyoni about a restricted internal SAPS letter. Sibiya has previously denied being part of the so-called Big 5 cartel, denying any involvement in bribes, kickbacks, or other gratification from criminal networks.
He also rejected being on the payroll of alleged cartel boss Vusimuzi "Cat" Matlala, stating that the alleged cartel does not exist. Sibiya further claimed that the accusations against him are politically motivated and lack good faith. However, the commission has received evidence, such as WhatsApp messages, suggesting Sibiya's connections to Msibi and other alleged cartel figures.
Sibiya is currently facing serious criminal charges, including rape, human trafficking, and the sexual grooming of a child.
