Suspended deputy national police commissioner for crime detection Lt-Gen Shadrack Sibiya says tensions between him and KwaZulu-Natal police commissioner Lt- Gen Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi began after he asked Mkhwanazi's team to brief about arrests in the murder of music superstar Kiernan 'AKA' Forbes.
Sibiya revealed this on Monday in his testimony before parliament's ad hoc committee probing allegations of corruption in the criminal justice system.
He said he and Mkhwanazi had maintained a good working relationship for years until he asked for a brief on the murders of AKA and his friend, chef Tebello Tibz Motsoane, outside a restaurant along Florida Road in Durban in February 2023.
