SAPS Confirms Postponement of Sibiya's Disciplinary Hearing
SAPS says the disciplinary case will continue as Sibiya’s urgent Labour Court bid to stop it has not yet been decided.
- Suspended Deputy National Police Commissioner Lieutenant-General Shadrack Sibiya has filed an urgent application with The Labour Court to halt his SAPS disciplinary hearing, though police are opposing the move and insisting the process will continue.
- Sibiya's disciplinary hearing stems from corruption and misconduct allegations that emerged during the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry, following police notice to appear served while he remained in custody.
- Proceedings began on Monday, October 5, but were postponed at Sibiya's request to allow time for legal consultation; the hearing resumes on October 12, with The Labour Court yet to issue a ruling.
- Sibiya faces separate criminal charges, including rape, trafficking, and the sexual grooming of a minor, and is expected back in court on Wednesday for ongoing bail proceedings.
- National police spokesperson Brigadier Athlenda Mathe confirmed that SAPS is opposing the application, maintaining that the court matter has not brought the internal disciplinary process to a halt.
