Unveiling a Web of Influence: A North West Businessmans Grip on Top Police Officers
The judicial commission, led by retired Constitutional Court Justice Mbuyiseli Madlanga, has uncovered allegations of a powerful North West businessman, Steven Motsumi, exerting influence over senior South African Police Service officers. Major-General Richard Shibiri, head of the suspended organized crime unit, revealed his fear of Motsumi due to the businessmans mining interests and connections to a Sandton-based figure linked to Economic Freedom Fighters leader Julius Malema. Major-General Lesetja Senona admitted to being too scared to name Motsumi during his testimony, labeling him as extremely dangerous. Shibiri detailed encounters with Motsumi over extortion cases at chrome mines and the police sharing confidential details on theft suspects with him ahead of court dates. The commission chair expressed deep concern over top officers reluctance to identify key figures due to fear, emphasizing the risks to the investigation into police misconduct.
