Colonel Sibiya

Colonel Sibiya, a police officer with the South African Police Service, testified before the Madlanga Commission about his involvement in events surrounding June 2021. At the time, he was a lieutenant colonel temporarily transferred from Financial Investigation Organized Crime as part of a duty arrangement. Sibiya described his role in the handling of exhibits on 22 and 23 June 2021 as limited and restricted to what he was instructed to do, emphasising that large-scale drug investigations were not his area of specialisation. He denied any allegations not specifically addressed in his testimony, and the record includes questions about his participation alongside other officers at locations including Isipingo and Port Shepstone.
