Deputy National Commissioner for Crime Detection denies interference in political killings task team disbandment

SAPS Deputy National Commissioner for Crime Detection Lieutenant-General, Shadrack Sibiya has denied any interference in the disbandment of the political killings task team. Sibiya was speaking to the media outside the Pretoria High Court this morning. His case against police commissioner Fannie Masemola did not continue in Court today, after his legal counsel requested a special allocation on the matter and a full bench to preside over it. The Deputy National Commissioner was placed on leave of absence after KwaZulu-Natal police commissioner Lt General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi linked him to criminal syndicates that have infiltrated the police service and having a hand in the disbandment of the political killings task team.
