Mpumalanga taxi boss Joe “Ferrari” Sibanyoni has been served with a Rule 10.6 Notice that requires him to respond to questions relating to matters which the Madlanga Commission is investigating.
Sibanyoni received the notice last week, according to reports, and could be called to testify before the commission.
A Rule 10.6 notice is a formal legal notification issued by the commission, and it also compels designated persons to respond in writing or make representations regarding specific allegations.
The questions reportedly concern matters related to Kwaggafontein and alleged criminal syndicates. The development adds pressure on Sibanyoni, who is already facing criminal charges in a separate matter.
He and co-accused Mvimbi Daniel Masilela, Philemon Msiza and Oupa “Bafana” Sindane face charges of extortion and money laundering.
Prosecutors alleged that the group demanded more than R2 million in protection fees from a businessman between 2022 and 2025.
The four were released on bail, but the case remains before the court after the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) re-enrolled the charges.
Sibanyoni has also been identified as an alleged victim in another case after underworld figure, Vusimuzi “Cat” Matlala, allegedly attempted to assassinate him during a 2022 ambush.
The commission is continuing its investigations, with Thursday’s proceedings turning to KwaZulu-Natal and allegations involving gangs, hit squads, drug syndicates and possible police links.
