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

Born in 1974 in Edendale, KZN, Mkhwanazi joined the South African Police Service (SAPS) in 1993. He rose rapidly through the ranks and served as the acting National Police Commissioner in 2012. After speaking out against political interference, he was removed from the post a year later, but he staged a comeback in 2018 when he was appointed the police chief of KZN.
The Cartel Allegations & Political Fallout
In July 2025, Mkhwanazi triggered an unprecedented law enforcement scandal.

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. 🕊

OPERATION CORONA | SANDF DELIVERS — NOW GO AFTER THE KINGPINS:
The latest operations by the South African National Defence Force (SANDF) under Operation CORONA show the vital role our soldiers continue to play in safeguarding South Africa’s borders and supporting law enforcement.
Over the past weekend, soldiers operating along the Zimbabwe–South Africa and Botswana–South Africa borders made seizures exceeding R1.4 million.
These included:
• A Great Wall Motor Tank 300 valued at R729,000 at Echo Station 1
• Illicit cigarettes worth R305,860 at Pump Station
• Illicit cigarettes worth R282,337 along the Botswana border
• Illicit alcohol worth R28,000
• Dagga worth R50,700
• Illicit groceries and goods worth R12,000
In one incident, suspects allegedly fired at soldiers before fleeing across the border into Zimbabwe.
These results demonstrate that Operation CORONA is making an impact. But seizures are only one part of the battle.
WE MUST GO AFTER THE KINGPINS.
Cigarette smuggling is a major organised-crime problem. We cannot keep arresting foot soldiers and confiscating consignments while the people financing, coordinating and profiting from these criminal networks remain untouched.
Follow the money. Identify the networks. Arrest the kingpins. Prosecute them.
Every seizure must become an intelligence lead. Every arrested suspect must potentially lead investigators to those higher up the chain.
The real measure of success cannot simply be how many cigarettes or goods are seized. It must be how many criminal syndicates are dismantled and how many kingpins are put behind bars.
Our soldiers are doing their job on the ground.
Now SAPS, the Hawks, prosecutors and other agencies must follow the trail all the way to the top.
SEIZE THE GOODS.
ARREST THE SMUGGLERS.
DISMANTLE THE SYNDICATES.
GO AFTER THE KINGPINS.

FOREIGN NATIONALS ARRESTED WITH EXPLOSIVES LINKED TO ATM BOMBINGS.
Three foreign nationals have been arrested and explosives recovered during an intelligence-driven operation in Matholesville, Roodepoort.
The operation was conducted on Tuesday, 1 September 2026, by a multidisciplinary team comprising SAPS Crime Intelligence, the Ivory Park Task Team, Gauteng Traffic’s SLEU, private security companies and the West Rand Explosives Unit.
The team acted on intelligence about a suspected explosives supplier allegedly supplying individuals involved in ATM bombings, cash-in-transit robberies and illegal mining.
A search of the premises led to the recovery of 88 safety fuses, 62 blasting cartridges and about 400 metres of detonating cord, with an estimated street value of R160,000.
Two men and a woman were arrested and face charges of possession of explosives. SAPS said all three are Zimbabwean nationals and are expected to appear in court.
A white Toyota Etios fitted with false registration plates was also seized for further investigation.
Police are continuing to investigate possible links between the suspects and other ATM bombing, cash-in-transit robbery and illegal mining incidents #MitchellsPlain #Tafelsig #SANDF #SAPS #CapeTown
