Former deputy national police commissioner Shadrack Sibiya resigns from the South African Police Service (SAPS) on Monday, ahead of a disciplinary hearing. Multiple outlets report that the resignation comes after SAPS disciplinary processes begin, leaving Sibiya no longer employed by the service.
One outlet states that SAPS terminates his employment in connection with what it describes as a “dishonourable discharge,” while others focus on the timing of his resignation relative to the hearing. The accounts also describe an earlier administrative process: Sibiya is placed on special leave in July 2025 before later suspension. Across coverage, there is agreement on the broad sequence—special leave, suspension, then resignation as disciplinary proceedings progress—though details of how termination is characterized differ between outlets.
