General Motsepe

Major General Motsepe wrote an email seeking legal opinion about the witness's post-promotion and attached a disciplinary hearing letter from Major General Khan.

“Major General Motsepe wrote an email to Legal Services... In her email, she attached the letter that was produced by Major General Khan at his disciplinary hearing... The letter from DPP Gauteng Local Johannesburg that stated the case against us will be enrolled soon.”

On 12 May 2025 Brigadier Ramangwatha told the witness that Deputy National Commissioner Lieutenant General Sibiya wants to see them and showed a letter from DPP Gauteng Local regarding the case status.

“On 12 May 2025, I was told by Brigadier Ramangwatha that the Deputy National Commissioner, Lieutenant General Sibiya, wants to see me. I met with General Sibiya. He told me that he is in possession of the email that was written by Major General Motsepe seeking legal opinion regarding my post promotion... Lieutenant General Sibiya further showed me a letter from DPP Gauteng Local, which was attached to the email and asked what is happening with that case.”

After winning a case at SSSBC, the speaker reported for duty and was told by Lieutenant Colonel Chauke to report to the Organised Crime Unit under Major General Shibiri, but was later told by Major General Shibiri that Major General Motsepe did not want the speaker to report back to her component, contrary to the award stating the speaker should be reinstated with the same terms and conditions as before dismissal.

“After winning my case at SSSBC, when I first reported for duty, Lieutenant Colonel Chauke informed me that management has decided I should report to the Organised Crime Unit under Major General Shibiri. When I asked who he refers to as management, he said the Component Heads, meaning Major General Motsepe and Major General Shibiri. I went and reported at the Organised Crime Unit and I was told by Major General Shibiri that Major General Motsepe said to him that she does not want me to report back at her component. That is when he agreed that I can come back with him at the Organised Crime Unit. There was no consultation and the decision went against the award which stated I should be reinstated with the same terms and conditions as before my dismissal.”

Lieutenant General Sibiri explains that taxi violence falls under the jurisdiction of General Motsepe, not him, indicating he sometimes is tasked with duties outside his jurisdiction.

“there is a component dealing with taxi violence, which I indicated that it falls under General Motsepe”
