Idac team inspects, photographs Sibiya’s office bathroom and bin

Matlala ‘left cash there for top cop’

- By Setumo Stone

An Independent Directorate Against Corruption (Idac) investigative team reportedly took fraud-accused businessman Vusimuzi “Cat” Matlala back to the office of suspended SAPS deputy national commissioner Lt Gen Shadrack Sibiya.

There, they allegedly looked at and photographed the bathroom and a dustbin that Matlala said were involved in cash payments to the senior police officer.

Police sources with knowledge of the matter told Sunday World that the visit occurred a week before Matlala appeared in court to apply for an eight-year sentence plea and sentencing deal. He allegedly identified locations that form part of the state’s investigation into allegations that he paid bribes to the senior police general.
