Sibiya calls on SA public to be open-minded on allegations against him
Sibiya was asked to take a leave of absence on Tuesday afternoon after being implicated in a string of explosive allegations by KwaZulu-Natal Police Commissioner Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi two weeks ago.
On Sunday, President Cyril Ramaphosa addressed the nation, announcing that Police Minister Senzo Mchunu would be placed on special leave after he was also implicated by Mkhwanazi.
Mkhwanazi claims he uncovered a syndicate involving politicians and other influential figures in law enforcement and business who have been captured by a drug cartel in Gauteng.
Speaking to EWN following the announcement of his leave, Sibiya made the following call to the public: "My only request is that South Africans be prepared to look at this thing in all fairness. If there are allegations, and they can be proven, I understand and accept, but if they cannot be proven, South Africans must also be prepared to open their eyes and see this thing for what it is."

Reports of SA man arrested in US as eSwatini welcomes immigrants deported from US
The man is accused of using a weapon to commit a felony, among other crimes. A South African man is reportedly among those arrested during a raid by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents. On Monday, a verified X account of ICE Denver announced the arrest of the 37-year-old man. He is accused of driving under the influence (DUI), using a weapon to commit a felony, and terroristic threats. 'He will remain in ICE custody pending immigration proceedings,' said ICE Denver. While social media users say his detention disproves claims that only black people are being targeted for deportation, some South Africans said they did not want him back. ICE raids According to AFP, the raids are a promise being fulfilled by US President Donald Trump, who campaigned on a pledge to deport millions of undocumented migrants. 'He has taken several actions aimed at accelerating deportations and reducing border crossings,' reports the news agency.

According to ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations Houston acting Field Office Director Gabriel Martinez on Monday, among those arrested were 32 convicted of child sex offences, nine convicted for homicide-related offences, 16 documented members of a transnational gang or drug cartel, and one convicted for hijacking an aeroplane on its way to Key West from Cuba. 'The number of dangerous criminal aliens that they removed from local communities across Southeast Texas last month is just another example of their selfless and unyielding efforts to return our local communities to places where we can all raise our families without having to worry about child predators, gang members, or other violent criminal aliens preying on our loved ones,' said Martinez in a statement.

About 200 migrants were detained, and clashes erupted with protesters. One worker, being chased by ICE agents, fell from the roof of a greenhouse and died on Saturday. US deportees land in Swaziland Meanwhile, the US Department of Homeland Security announced on Tuesday that a flight carrying immigrants deported from the US had landed in eSwatini. 'Today, DHS conducted a third-country deportation flight to eSwatini. These criminal illegal aliens are so uniquely barbaric that their home countries refused to take them back,' announced the department on social media.

The department deported five men from Vietnam, Jamaica, Laos, Cuba and Yemen. They were convicted of child rape, murder, robbery, second-degree homicide and assault, among other crimes. This comes after the US Supreme Court in June paved the way for the Trump administration to resume deportations of undocumented migrants to countries that are not their own.

South Africans are safe, security cluster solid
Minister in the Presidency Khumbudzo Ntshavheni has assured South Africans that the country is secure and the security cluster remains solid and functional. Ntshavheni made these remarks during a media briefing in Cape Town yesterday, where she released the redacted version of the National Security Strategy (NSS) and the National Intelligence Estimate (NIE) for the sixth administration. Responding to media questions on national security risks, Ntshavheni revealed that government had identified, among others, the threat of a coup d'état but emphasised that no such attempt had materialised. Oxford defines a coup d'état as: 'A sudden change of government that is illegal and often violent.' 'We have listed the risks and remember a risk does not necessarily materialise… You need to identify it and mitigate against it. One of the risks is the risk of coup d'état. We have identified it and put measures to mitigate against it. 'That's why we say to South Africans, there's not been anyone attempting to do a coup in South Africa. In the last few days or in the last few weeks, there's not been anyone. Not that there are not people planning – they are – but we are continuously monitoring them and making sure that we deal with those,' she said. Reinforcing this message, Ntshavheni added that the security cluster is solid and capable of doing its work. 'The security cluster is solid, it is able to do its work. There are men and women in various capacities who continue to work as patriots for the protection of this country, and there are men and women in the intelligence services or intelligence community who continue to work to make sure this country is safe. There are men and women in the defence and police services who work for the greater benefit of this country,' she said. Ntshavheni added that government is taking a transparent and proactive approach to national security, noting that releasing the NSS and NIE would allow public engagement and strengthen accountability. 'So, any matters or challenges that confront us, we are a resilient nation. We've always found solutions, we've always been able to deal with challenges and we've addressed them,' she said. She added that the president has taken decisive action by establishing a commission of inquiry with expedited timelines and a clear mandate to report findings to Parliament and the judiciary – further underscoring government's commitment to transparency and swift action. 'That must give South Africans the comfort that their security is a priority for this government,' Ntshavheni said. She emphasised that releasing the public version of the National Security Strategy would empower citizens to understand government's policy and strategic focus. 'So other countries release the strategies. It will help South Africans to understand what we are focusing on at the policy and strategy level and how they can also help. We have not given you the full strategy. We have given you what we call the public version of the strategy because the others that are sensitive are for our implementation and other agencies that we work with. But it's important that South Africans understand our mandate and what we are focusing on,' she said. This strategy, she explained, guides the work of the State Security Agency and the broader intelligence community. 'You must hold us accountable – to say what you have set yourself as the pillars of the strategy, what is the progress you are making, including what we call the national intelligence estimates and priorities,' she said. She further indicated that the department is open to discussions about national security progress and challenges – both at domestic and foreign levels. No threats to G20 delegates Addressing concerns about the safety of G20 delegates as South Africa prepares to host key events ahead of the G20 summit later this year, Ntshavheni assured that there are no threats to delegates. 'We do threat assessments for all meetings. It doesn't matter if it's a Sherpa meeting or a ministerial meeting. We do threat assessments in time and we mitigate. There have not been any threats coming out in South Africa. The safety and security of the delegates of the G20 is guaranteed,' she said. Ntshavheni referenced South Africa's successful hosting of other high-level events in the past, including the Brics Summit, to affirm the country's capability to provide secure environments for global engagements. 'It is not the first important meeting that this country has hosted. We have hosted the Brics Summit with high-profile delegates who are mostly at risk, and everybody was safe in this country,' Ntshavheni said. – Breaking news at your fingertips… Follow Caxton Network News on Facebook and join our WhatsApp channel.

‘Get your popcorn factory ready' — McKenzie on commission investigating Mkhwanazi allegations
McKenzie says he knows things the commission may find useful. Minister of Sport, Arts and Culture Gayton McKenzie says he will testify at the commission set up by President Cyril Ramaphosa to investigate allegations made by KwaZulu-Natal police commissioner Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi. On Sunday, 6 July, Mkhwanazi alleged that the judiciary and Police Minister Senzo Mchunu, among others, were corrupt and colluding with criminal networks. Mkhwanazi said an investigation with the Gauteng organised crime investigation unit unmasked a syndicate which involves politicians, law enforcement, metro police, correctional services, prosecutors, the judiciary, and is controlled by drug cartels as well as businesspeople. ALSO READ: Senzo Mchunu investigation will take longer to finalise, says Public Protector Although Mchunu has denied the allegations, he has since been placed on a leave of absence. To address these allegations and their implications, Ramaphosa announced on Sunday that he would establish a judicial commission of inquiry, chaired by Acting Deputy Chief Justice Mbuyiseli Madlanga. Justice Madlanga will be assisted by Advocate Sesi Baloyi SC and Advocate Sandile Khumalo SC. The commission will investigate allegations relating to the infiltration of law enforcement, intelligence and associated institutions within the criminal justice system by criminal syndicates. Among the allegations that the commission may investigate are the facilitation of organised crime, suppression or manipulation of investigations, inducement into criminal actions by law enforcement leadership, commission of any other criminal offences, and intimidation, victimisation, or targeted removal of whistleblowers or officials resisting criminal influence. ALSO READ: Charges laid against Mchunu as pressure mounts on Ramaphosa to act amid national security concerns The commission will further investigate the role of current or former senior officials in certain institutions who may have aided or abetted the alleged criminal activity; failed to act on credible intelligence or internal warnings; or benefited financially or politically from a syndicate's operations. McKenzie: Get your popcorn ready Speaking to Newzroom Africa on Tuesday, McKenzie said South Africans should get their popcorn ready and expect to hear explosive revelations at the commission. He said the commission was a good move and would be able to investigate and expose the truth. He said he, too, would testify at the commission as he knew things.

'But this thing is so delicate that I'm telling you, what is going to come out of that… [whistles]. South Africans must be ready. I'm also going to testify at the commission because I know things. If they call me, I'm going. 'There are guns in the Western Cape that kill our people. This one is not 'get your popcorn ready', you must get your popcorn factory ready because this thing, the corruption that's going to come out of there … every gang boss of every cartel in the world, always you hear they're being arrested in South Africa.
