Calls for Criminal Prosecution of Richard Shibiri

The post ActionSA Welcomes Dismissal of Richard Shibiri, Calls for Criminal Prosecution appeared first on ActionSA.

ActionSA welcomes the dismissal of former Organised Crime head Richard Shibiri for bringing the South African Police Service (SAPS) into disrepute.

While this decision is a significant step towards restoring accountability within SAPS, it cannot be the end of the matter. Shibiri must now face the full consequences of the law for his alleged involvement with criminal syndicates while occupying one of the most senior law enforcement positions in the country.

For decades, South Africans have endured the devastating effects of police corruption, criminal infiltration, and the abuse of state resources. Revelations emerging from both the Ad Hoc Committee process and the Madlanga Commission have painted a deeply concerning picture of the extent to which organised criminal interests have penetrated institutions tasked with upholding the rule of law.

Against this backdrop, decisive action against those who have betrayed the public trust offers a measure of hope that accountability is finally being pursued.

ActionSA commends the SAPS leadership for taking this important step and calls on law enforcement authorities to ensure that all individuals implicated in corruption, criminal conduct, or the undermining of state institutions are prosecuted without fear or favour.

ActionSA Dr. Nasiphi Moya (Deputy President / Tshwane Mayor) Academic Background: Holds a PhD in Political Science and is recognized for her technical expertise in governance. Current Power: As of late 2024, she made history by becoming the Executive Mayor of Tshwane (Pretoria), leading a coalition that displaced the DA in the capital. Strategic Value: She represents the party’s shift toward young, highly educated, and technically competent leadership.
