Major General Richard Shibiri, head of organised crime at South Africa’s police force, testified before the Madlanga Commission in March 2026, detailing how criminal syndicates infiltrate law enforcement through bribery, intimidation, and surveillance.
He acknowledged systemic corruption and fear among senior officials, citing threats to his life while investigating crime networks.
Despite warnings about corruption, Shibiri faces scrutiny over a R70,000 loan from Vusimuzi “Cat” Matlala, a businessman with serious criminal charges and a R360-million SAPS contract.
The commission questioned the judgment of the loan, especially given Matlala’s alleged ties to criminal cartels, raising doubts about Shibiri’s credibility.
His testimony, along with concerns about officials’ fear of retaliation, highlights deep-rooted challenges in South Africa’s law enforcement.
