IN THE DOCK: Sibiya associate threatens to expose ‘disappeared’ cases, Matlala links and payments

A former driver and protector of suspended deputy police commissioner Shadrack Sibiya has threatened to expose information on alleged criminal activities, ties with controversial businessman Vusimuzi “Cat” Matlala, and cases involving people who allegedly disappeared. This comes during the bail proceedings of Sibiya in the Randburg Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday, 7 October 2026.

The claims were made by Mr M, who is also the father of a 16-year-old girl whom Sibiya is accused of sexually grooming. Mr M claims he began documenting Sibiya's movements in January after a fallout that led to the end of his marriage. He alleges that he has hundreds of recordings, notes on locations, photographs of people met by Sibiya, and information from trips in Sibiya's car.
