Shadrack Sibiya’s bail hearing to continue after threat recording, new claims
The bail hearing of suspended police lieutenant-general Shadrack Sibiya will resume Wednesday, after a Randburg court heard recordings in which he allegedly threatened the father of a 16-year-old girl he is accused of sexually grooming.
Suspended Deputy National Police Commissioner Lieutenant General Shadrack Sibiya is set to reappear in court on Wednesday to continue his bail application. The charges against Sibiya include rape, human trafficking, contravening the Firearms Control Act and allegedly sexually grooming a minor. He was apprehended in September at the Grand Strip Club in Rivonia, Johannesburg.
During the court proceedings last week, Investigating Officer Detective Sergeant Nokukhanya Ndlovu provided harrowing details about the alleged rape of an 18-year-old woman and the sexual grooming of a 16-year-old girl. Ndlovu stated that Sibiya had allegedly given the 18-year-old alcohol before raping her while she was unconscious in a hotel room.
Additionally, Ndlovu claimed that Sibiya had requested explicit images and videos from the 16-year-old through WhatsApp messages and phone calls.
