Bishop Mangaliso Maumela retracts statements he made outside court regarding President Cyril Ramaphosa and the police (SAPS) after appearing in court in connection with Shadrack Sibiya’s case.
According to the outlet’s report, Maumela withdraws the “threats” claims previously made and issues an apology. He also says he will no longer comment publicly on Sibiya’s matter. The retraction follows Maumela’s appearance at court related to Sibiya, and the report indicates his revised position centers on his earlier remarks about Ramaphosa and SAPS, as well as references made to the Madlanga Commission.
The coverage focuses on Maumela’s correction of the record and his shift away from public commentary while Sibiya’s case proceeds through the court system. No alternative angles are provided in the information received beyond the retraction, apology, and stated decision to refrain from further public statements about the case.
