The hijacking incident
In October 2017, the SuperSport boss faced an unfortunate event where he almost died in the hands of two armed thugs. This happened before the final of the Caf Confederation Cup, which his team was to play. The two thugs attacked Sibiya at his home in Northern Johannesburg and attempted to hijack one of Khulu Sibiya cars, a Mercedes Benz.
Threatening to shoot him, the burglars instructed him to get out of his car. Brave Sibiya, however, denied them access to the car and was ready even to meet his Maker so that the robbers would not get what they had gone for. They, however, managed to get away with a 16,000-rand iPhone, among other small items.
