Lieutenant-General Shadrack Sibiya, Detective Sergeant Nokukhanya Ndlovu, Magistrate Hleziphi Mkhasibe, prosecutor Velile Makhasana, Advocate Amanda Nel, Estelle Kilian SC, attorney Rashaad Moosa, Bishop Lazarus Azwihangwi Maumela, Mr M, ZM, MC and other key figures all feature in one of the most extraordinary bail hearings currently unfolding in South Africa. In this deep dive, I break down the bail application of suspended SAPS Deputy National Commissioner for Crime Detection Lieutenant-General Shadrack Sibiya — from the charges against him and the allegations involving a 16-year-old girl, to the events at The Grand and a hotel, the alleged threats and witness interference, the firearm matter, and the radically different cases being put forward by the State and defence. Sibiya faces serious allegations, including sexual grooming of a child, trafficking in persons and rape. He denies the offences.
