Breaking News: High-Profile Arrest of Deputy National Police Commissioner!
So, there’s some pretty serious news from the Randburg Magistrate's Court today. Lieutenant General Shadrack Sibiya, who's suspended from his role as Deputy National Police Commissioner, has faced charges for some really heavy stuff, including rape and sexual grooming involving minors, along with a human trafficking charge. He got to court quite late in the day, around 3:30 PM, which meant they couldn’t kick off a formal bail application before the court closed. It’s a tough situation, and the proceedings are definitely something to keep an eye on. He's being moved to the Kgosi Mampuru Correctional Centre in Pretoria, where he'll be held until his next court appearance.

The next court date is set for September 29, 2026. #media24seven #shadracksibiya
