The Madlanga commission has heard how Lt-Gen Shadrack Sibiya, the embattled suspended police deputy commissioner for crime detection, supported the work of the political killings task team PKTT months before another team working with them discovered a criminal syndicate that he was allegedly linked to.
Sibiya allegedly pushed for the closure of the PKKT after the discovery of the cartel.
This was revealed by the polices head of crime intelligence, Lt-Gen Dumisani Khumalo, who told the commission that Sibiya supported the recommendations that were made by him to the office of the CFO for the PKTT to receive funds for another term.
