Stuart Scharnick

Stuart Scharnick is a figure who appears in the testimony of Lieutenant General Sibiya during the Madlanga Commission, primarily in connection with the use of a bulletproof vehicle. According to the record, Scharnick was involved in discussions about the vehicle's operational costs, with testimony describing an average monthly expenditure of roughly 60,000 to 70,000 rand to utilize it. He is also portrayed as having a personal rapport with Sibiya, allegedly warning him about potential threats from individuals he knew, and commenting on the vehicle's expense and insurance. Scharnick reportedly contacted Sibiya to discuss personal matters, and later provided what was described as a corrected account of events, though the specifics of that correction remain part of the contested testimony.
