Former SAPS general contradicts his testimony, admitting calls to crime boss Matlala despite claiming no contact.
Suspended SAPS officer Maj-Gen Richard Shibiri testified before the Madlanga Commission, contradicting his claim of minimal contact with alleged crime boss Vusi “Cat” Matlala, as call logs show multiple communications from December 2024 to May 2025, including one the week before his arrest.
Shibiri acknowledged the calls but said he didn’t recall them, citing a phone repair and a farm operation in Mpumalanga.
He admitted to repaying a loan to Matlala and denied discussing police operations, though commission members questioned his credibility.
Shibiri also alleged that officers, including a key witness, were promised promotions for testifying against him, a claim supported by a signed affidavit.
The probe continues into corruption and misconduct within South Africa’s criminal justice system.
