Shibiri's source (in Swart investigation)

The individual in question is a police officer who acted as a source in the Swart investigation, providing documents and information to investigators. Testimony described how this source encouraged arrested members to open a case of defeating the ends of justice against a general—identified as the only intelligence general at the scene—and was directed to engage with the Minister, the Chief of Staff, and General Sibiya. The source’s conduct drew scrutiny, with legal arguments noting that having a source does not automatically make documents public, and that using a source is not inherently incriminating unless the conduct was illegal. The officer also faced questions about an alleged incident involving an assault with a pen, which led to a case of assault and intimidation being opened.
