GAUTENG. – The police have confirmed that disciplinary proceedings against lt.gen. Sibiya are continuing and have not been halted. The disciplinary hearing and a separate urgent application in the labour court are two distinct matters proceeding in parallel.
According to brig. Athlenda Mathe, the national police spokesperson, the disciplinary hearing was heard on Monday, after which the applicant's request for a postponement was granted. The matter was postponed to 12 October to give him the opportunity to consult with his legal representatives.
The urgent application in the labour court was also heard on Monday and was adjourned so that the police can file its opposing papers and the applicant can file his replying affidavit before the court hears the matter further. The labour court matter remains sub judice and the police say they will therefore not comment on the merits of the case.
