Lt-Gen Shadrack Sibiya concluded presenting his evidence contained in a 90-page document at the Madlanga commission of inquiry on Thursday afternoon.

  • He told the commission that he had never received any illicit funds from Vusimusi “Cat” Matlala.
  • He told the commission that evidence presented to the commission was not factual, and was meant to serve a certain narrative about him.
  • He said he had been advised that the search-and-seizure warrants issued against him contained defects.
  • Sibiya confirmed knowing alleged ANC-fixer Brown Mogotsi. He said they had met in Cape Town, and Mogotsi had told him about a plot to remove him from SAPS.
  • He said Matlala had paid for the “Brazilian butt lift” of acting deputy commissioner Lt-Gen Hilda Senthumule.
