Sibiya explains how he knows Brown Mogotsi and Cat Matlala

Suspended Deputy National Police Commissioner Shadrack Sibiya has denied having any personal relationships with figures central to the allegations made by KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) police commissioner Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi.
On Monday, Sibiya testified before parliament’s ad hoc committee investigating Mkhwanazi’s claims about political interference, corruption and collusion in the criminal justice system.
Mkhwanazi alleged during a 6 July media briefing that Sibiya and Police Minister Senzo Mchunu — currently on special leave — colluded to disband the political killings task team (PKTT) to protect individuals and halt investigations into organised crime.

The exterior of the lavish home was made famous last week as the Special Investigating Unit (SIU) confiscated assets as part of their investigation into the misappropriation of state funds.
