Sibiya back in court after damning recording was played
The allegations were made during a twenty-five minute audio clip of a conversation.
Former Deputy National Police Commissioner, Shadrack Sibiya, is set to return to court on Wednesday following the presentation of damning audio evidence. The 59-year-old appeared in Randburg Magistrate's Court in Johannesburg on Tuesday, where he faced allegations of involvement in unlawful activities and alleged connections with the criminal underworld.
Sibiya's arrest earlier this month has led to charges including the sexual grooming of a 16-year-old girl, rape, human trafficking, and contravention of the Firearms Control Act. The allegations were detailed in a 25-minute recorded conversation between the complainant, identified as 'Mr M', and businessman Serge Cabonge. Investigating Officer Sergeant Ndlovu informed the court that the audio clip played a crucial role in Mrs Sizakele Dlamini's affidavit, which Sibiya's wife provided support for.
Ndlovu explained that Sibiya confirmed the accuracy of the defense's attached evidence, which was corroborated by 'Mr M'. The defense had not submitted the voice note, but it was presented because it was confirmed by 'Mr M'.
