Sibiya Plays Recordings, Denies Corruption as He Defends PKTT Orders at Madlanga Commission

He presented recordings to bolster his claim that he acted on instructions from superiors.

Overview

  • Sibiya furnished the commission with recorded calls in which Lieutenant-General Hilda Senthumule is heard criticising the Political Killings Task Team and questioning how its budget was used.
  • He alleged that Vusimuzi ‘Cat’ Matlala paid for General Senthumule’s cosmetic surgery, challenging her claims of no association with the alleged crime figure.
  • He maintained that the disbandment of the PKTT and the relocation of dockets were implemented under directives flowing from Police Minister Senzo Mchunu through National Commissioner Fannie Masemola.
  • Addressing a CCTV-linked white BMW seen at Katiso ‘KT’ Molefe’s home, Sibiya said the vehicle was only assigned to his office months later and denied any improper link.
  • He rejected allegations of gifts or cash from Matlala or Molefe and said no credible evidence shows a friendship, while witness claims persist about cash couriered by Sergeant Fannie Nkosi, gifted impalas, and stalled investigations after 121 dockets were moved.
