Court hears recording implicating Sibiya in unlawful activities
Allegations were made during a 25 minute audio clip played during Sibiya's bail application.
In a recent court hearing, serious allegations were brought against former Deputy National Police Commissioner for Crime Detection, Shadrack Sibiya. During the bail application, a 25-minute audio clip was played, implicating Sibiya in unlawful activities and alleged connections with the criminal underworld. Sibiya was apprehended last month at a Sandton strip club and faces multiple charges, including the sexual grooming of a 16-year-old girl, rape, human trafficking, and violating the Firearms Control Act.
The audio recording features a conversation between the complainant, 'Mr. M,' who is also the father of the 16-year-old alleged victim, and businessman Serge Cabonge. 'Mr. M' claims to have conducted background checks on a forensic expert associated with the Mandlanga Commission, suggesting potential wrongdoing on their part. He then discusses the abduction of a young girl, stating that the kidnappers demanded a ransom of R2.5 million in exchange for her release.
'Mr. M' offers R1,000,000 as a potential solution, proposing to rescue the girl in exchange for the ransom money. The matter is currently under investigation by the Hawks, South Africa's national police service.
