Court hears Sibiya’s bodyguard was allegedly paid R10,000 a day
At Shadrack Sibiya’s bail hearing in the Randburg Magistrates’ Court, an investigating officer told the court that a man known as Mr M was allegedly paid R10,000 a day to work as Sibiya’s private security guard, bodyguard and weekend driver.
Mr M is the father of the 16-year-old girl Sibiya is accused of sexually grooming. The state also alleges he previously acted as Sibiya’s protector and drove several girls to a hotel in Sibiya’s bakkie, then left them there.
Sibiya’s lawyer, Amanda Nel, denied the claims. The defence says Sibiya never employed Mr M, already had official protectors, and did not pay them himself, so he had no reason to use Mr M’s services.
Sibiya is the suspended deputy national police commissioner. The claims were made during his ongoing bail application #Netchain #mzansi #netchain #SAPS #Enca

Rip: Elizabeth "Tsontso" Mokolo Moselakgomo
Elizabeth Mokolo Moselakgomo was a 38-year-old fitness enthusiast and mother from Kempton Park, Gauteng.On Wednesday, September 09, 2026, Tsontso left her home in Rhodesfield, Kempton Park, for her usual afternoon run and never returned. She left behind her eight-year-old daughter, who later raised the alarm by contacting family members when night fell.A missing person file was opened at the South African Police Service ( SAPS ) and photos of Elizabeth were shared on social media.
On Saturday, September 12, 2026, the battered body of a woman wearing sports clothing was discovered by authorities in the Kempton Park area. Due to severe facial injuries, the family could not immediately confirm her identity over the weekend.
On Monday morning, September 14, 2026, her family formally and positively identified her body at the Germiston mortuary.
Tsontso's tragic death is part of a deeply concerning broader investigation by the South African Police Service (SAPS). She is one of five women whose bodies have been discovered in the Kempton Park and Olifantsfontein areas over a two-month span.
A dedicated multidisciplinary task team has been established to examine the evidence and investigate potential links between these cases, though authorities have noted it is too early to definitively confirm a single culprit or serial killer. One suspect was already taken into custody in July regarding the first discovery.We send our deepest condolences to her family, friends and colleagues.May her soul rest in peace. 🕊
