Joe Sibanyoni and Co-accused File Urgent Application to Block Re-enrolment of Extortion Case

MPUMALANGA – Joe ‘Ferrari’ Sibanyoni and his three co-accused have filed an urgent application to prevent their case from being re-enrolled.

The Mpumalanga taxi boss, along with Mvimbi Masilela, Philemon Msiza, and Bafana Oupa Sindane, were charged with extortion and money laundering.

Their matter was originally struck off the roll by Chief Magistrate Tuletu Tonjeni, after the State prosecutor failed to appear for the bail application on 18 May 2026.

When was the matter supposed to be heard?

After the matter was initially struck off the roll, the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) met with the investigating officer to discuss re-enrolling the case. The police in Mpumalanga maintained that they had a strong case and intact evidence against the four men, and the matter was re-enrolled.

Sibanyoni, Masilela, Msiza and Sindane were supposed to appear before the Delmas Magistrate's Court on 28 May 2026, for the continuation of the case.
