He described Mogotsi\u2019s approach as consistent with whistleblower activity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen someone comes to you with information that helps your cause, you do give attention to such information,\u201d he said. \u201cI cannot be worried about such.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Nqola pushed back, saying this was not ordinary \u201ccommunity intelligence\u201d, but internal information about SAPS and Crime Intelligence operations. Sibiya agreed: \u201cThis is different,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Pressed further, Sibiya eventually said: \u201cOf course, I am concerned if ever a member of the public will have information, particularly documents, that belong to intelligence. It is a cause for concern.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He told the committee that he used the warning to his advantage, saying, \u201cI used it to my advantage to make sure that I survive.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sibiya confirmed he still communicates with Mogotsi, although \u201cnot on a daily basis\u201d and \u201cnot about issues relating to the police service\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>He also claimed that coordinated disinformation had been used to portray him as under imminent arrest, citing online videos and media leaks.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have seen thousands of AI-generated TikTok messages about me,\u201d he said, adding that journalists had written that \u201cGeneral Sibiya\u2019s arrest is imminent.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sibiya also defended his contact with businessman and SAPS service provider Vusimuzi &#8216;Cat&#8217; Matlala. He said Matlala had approached him to discuss difficulties with a tender at a police college.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span>&#8221;There was no issue because at that point in time, nobody knew about Mr Matlala&#8217;s involvement in any crime.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The Deputy Commissioner also said it was common practice for police officials to engage stakeholders directly.<\/p>\n<p>When asked if he knew where Matlala resided, Sibiya said, \u201cNo.\u201d He was also questioned whether he had ever been to Matlala&#8217; s homestead, to which he responded in the negative.<\/p>\n<p>hope.ntanzi@iol.co.za&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong> Politics<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><em>Get your news on the go.
