Taxi operator Joe “Ferrari” Sibanyoni is questioned over payments he allegedly made toward the legal costs of Gwabo Mahlangu, a convicted criminal linked to taxi-related murders. The questioning takes place on Tuesday, with investigators examining the nature and purpose of the payments.
According to the report, Sibanyoni provides an explanation for why he paid legal fees. He says the issue is connected to a request made by Mahlangu’s mother, framing the payments as a response to that request rather than an attempt to influence legal outcomes. The matter is treated as part of broader scrutiny of alleged connections between taxi-related violence and individuals described as perpetrators or facilitators.
The outlet highlights Sibanyoni’s account of events, while focusing on the fact of the alleged legal-fee payments and the ongoing questioning process. Other details, including the full circumstances of the payments and any specific charges related to the conduct, are not included in the provided excerpt.
