Jotham “King Mswazi” Msibi’s alleged associate, Lebeya, tells the Madlanga Commission he has “no knowledge” of a syndicate described as the “Big Five Cartel.” Speaking on Wednesday, he says he is unaware of the alleged criminal activities reportedly linked to the late taxi boss, Msibi.
The accounts focus on Lebeya’s testimony and his denial of involvement or prior awareness. While outlets referencing the same hearing emphasize his lack of knowledge, they also situate it within the broader commission proceedings investigating organised criminal activity connected to taxi operations. The differing angles largely relate to how much detail each report includes about what the commission is hearing and what allegations are being put to witnesses, but the core point across coverage is Lebeya’s response: he says he does not know the syndicate or its activities.
