A witness at the Madlanga commission has claimed Economic Freedom Fighters EFF leader Julius Malema is close to suspended South African Police Service SAPS Deputy National Commissioner for Crime Detection, Lt-Gen Shadrack Sibiya.
The commission is investigating allegations of criminality, political interference and corruption in the criminal justice system.
SAPS KwaZulu-Natal Provincial Commissioner, Lt-Gen Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi , has alleged that Sibiya withdrew Political Killings Task Team case dockets from the province to the head office as part of a plot to stop investigations into criminal syndicates.
