Sibiya’s bail application to resume at Randburg Court
Lieutenant-General Shadrack Sibiya bail application to resume Thursday morning at Randburg Court
Suspended Deputy National Police Commissioner for Crime Detection Lieutenant-General Shadrack Sibiya's bail application is set to recommence on Thursday at the Randburg Magistrates' Court. He stands accused of five charges, including rape, human trafficking, and the sexual grooming of a sixteen-year-old girl. Sibiya is currently in police custody.
On Tuesday, the bail application was postponed to allow the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) sufficient time to thoroughly prepare for the cross-examination of the first witness. The NPA spokesperson, Kaizer Kganyago, explained that the delay was necessary as the documents were only received on the morning of the hearing and the identity of a witness presented in court was unknown.
The proceedings will involve reviewing letters addressed to the National Director of Public Prosecutions (NDPP), prompting the NPA's request for a postponement to ensure proper preparation and consultation.
