Former deputy national police commissioner Shadrack Sibiya will remain in custody after the Randburg Magistrates Court found that he had failed to establish exceptional circumstances justifying his release on bail.
The former deputy national police commissioner faces allegations of sexually grooming a 16-year-old girl and raping an 18-year-old woman, charges he has disputed in court.
Prosecutors have challenged the businessman’s credibility over repeated absences from the Madlanga commission, arguing that his conduct raises doubts about whether he would attend future court proceedings if released on bail.
