Sibiya, according to KwaZulu-Natal police commissioner, Lieutenant-General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi, had ordered the removal of police dockets from KwaZullu-Natal to the police head offices, without the knowledge of his boss, National Commissioner General Fannie Masemola.

Mkhwanazi said Sibiya had also instructed a deputy minister to manage and remove Masemola. He said Sibiya had sent a WhatsApp message to the deputy minister informing him or her of spyware procured by the Crime Intelligence unit to the tune of R13 million, without following supply chain management processes.

In his (WhatsApp) message, he stated that only Police Minister Senzo Mchunu was authorised to sign for any contract worth more than R10m. According to Mkhwanazi, Sibiya had mentioned briefing a 'Comrade Mathebula' about the matter.
