‘It’s not only exclusively a strip club’: Sibiya disputes arrest location, claims he was at a restaurant
'There's a restaurant area, there's a hotel area, and those areas are separate from the strip club.'
Suspended Deputy National Police Commissioner Shadrack Sibiya has questioned the investigating officer's claim that he was arrested inside a strip club, stating that the establishment is more than just a strip club. The altercation occurred during Sibiya's bail hearing at Randburg Magistrate’s Court on 2 October 2026, following his arrest at The Grand Club in Rivonia, Sandton, on 21 September 2026.
Sibiya faces multiple charges, including sexual grooming, human trafficking, rape, and firearm-related offenses. The investigating officer, Sergeant Nokukhanya Ndlovu, maintained that Sibiya was arrested inside the strip club, dismissing claims that he was actually having a meal with three other men in the restaurant.
