PRETORIA — As Crime Intelligence boss General Dumisani Khumalo continued his testimony at the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry, he revealed an alleged connection between suspended Deputy National Commissioner General Shadrack Sibiya and murder-accused and suspected cartel boss Katiso "KT" Molefe.
According to News24, Khumalo appeared before the Madlabnga Commission of Inquiry on 4 November 2025 at the Brigitte Mabandla Justice College, where the public hearings are being held.

Khumalo said that Sibiya's subordinate visited Molefe's house, 10 days before he was arrested for Swarts' murder on 6 December 2024. In the clip, the subordinate arrives at Molefe's house. Ten minutes later, he emerges from the house with a white bag and walks with Molefe.
