Sibiya Must Be Fired if Found Guilty

Statement by Lisa Schickerling MP – DA Spokesperson on Police:

The DA expects Lieutenant General Shadrack Sibiya to be fired from SAPS if found guilty of the serious allegations of sexual grooming and rape he faces. This is the last straw, if found guilty, he must be fired.

SAPS cannot credibly claim to protect women and children unless they act decisively when serious allegations involve a senior officer. Sibiya is already on suspension, but if guilty of rape he cannot remain in the SAPS.

No rank, title or position of influence shall place anyone above accountability.

Criminal accountability must find its high-water mark within SAPS.

If Sibiya is found guilty, he must be permanently removed from SAPS to maintain public confidence in the police service.

The people of South Africa deserve a police service that protects victims, upholds the law and acts without fear or favour.

  1. Bunny Chow. This is a traditional South African Indian dish and usually consists of curry served in a hollowed-out half-loaf of unsliced white bread. It’s best when the bread is soft and fresh and the curry is extra spicy.

  2. Fun South African Fact: Mandela’s house on Vilakazi Street is now a museum. The man who the street was named after, Dr BW Vilakazi, was a poet, novelist and intellectual. He helped develop the written form of both isiZulu and siSwati and helped put together the isiZulu dictionary.
