Controversial author Jackie Phomotse reacted to suspended national deputy police commissioner Lieutenant-General Shadrack Sibiya’s alleged slip of tongue while giving an update on the missing Tshwane entrepreneur and businessman Jerry Boshoga.
On Tuesday, 14 October 2025, Shadrack Sibiya testified before Parliament’s Ad Hoc Committee to Investigate Allegations made by Lieutenant General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi. When asked whether kidnapped businessman Jerry Boshoga is still alive, Sibiya had what Jackie Phamotse and several other social media users considered a Freudian slip.
Jackie Phamotse reacts to Shadrack Sibiya's Jerry Boshoga testimony
SABC News shared a video of Sibiya telling parliamentarians about Jerry Boshoga's status. The post was captioned:
“Lt-General Shadrack Sibiya says he cannot confirm whether kidnapped businessman Jerry Boshoga is still alive, adding that they have raided several houses, including in Limpopo, and all have yielded no results.”
In the video, Shadrack Sibiya spoke about Jerry Boshoga in the past tense. Reacting to the video, Jackie Phamotse, who was previously convicted for defamation, singled out one word that Shadrack Sibiya allegedly used in his response. She said the word, as well as Sibiya’s voice and body language, were evidence that he was letting off more than he knew. Jackie Phamotse’s reaction read:
“He just said, ‘Murder’ 🤯🤯 This man knows far more than what he is saying. His voice and anxious expressions say a lot. This man is LYING! He just confirmed something here.”
