Sibiya goes to the Labour Court
Suspended Deputy National Police Commissioner Shadrack Sibiya has asked the Labour Court to stop his internal disciplinary hearing. The South African Police Service says it will oppose his application. The hearing follows allegations raised at the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry.
Khan to testify in private
Former deputy Crime Intelligence head Major General Feroz Khan is expected to give evidence behind closed doors at the Madlanga Commission. He was due to testify in July, but his appearance was delayed after he was shot and hospitalised. His evidence will be heard privately.
Kidnap victim rescued
Police have rescued a 38-year-old man who was kidnapped in central Johannesburg on 30 August. His captors demanded a $2 million ransom from his family. He was freed unharmed after more than a month in captivity.
Three suspects were arrested on Sunday, 4 October. Police say they had the cellphone used to demand the ransom. Investigators then traced the man to a property in Randfontein, where he was rescued and two more suspects were arrested. All five are expected to face kidnapping and extortion charges.
The operation involved Johannesburg Central detectives, Crime Intelligence, the Anti-Kidnapping Team, the Flying Squad and private security companies.
