Deputy National Police Commissioner Shadrack Sibiya faces multiple sexual grooming, human trafficking, and rape charges against a 16-year-old girl and an 18-year-old woman, according to a court hearing at Randburg Magistrate's Court on October 1, 2026. The investigating officer, Sergeant Nokukhanya Ndlovu, presented disturbing details of the alleged sexual communications and rape involving the minor during her testimony.

Sibiya allegedly initiated private conversations with the 16-year-old through WhatsApp, exchanging sexually explicit content, including pictures and videos, without her father's knowledge. The 18-year-old woman was allegedly taken to a club, where she was given alcohol and later raped while unconscious, according to the state's account.
