Organized Crime

Organized crime has three components: SANEB, EP, and NPVC according to Lieutenant-Colonel Sibiya.

“Organized crime has got three components. It is SANEB, EP and NPVC.”

Lieutenant Colonel Sibiya and Colonel Moodley were temporarily transferred to Organized Crime in 2020, with Moodley going to SANEB section and Sibiya to EPR section.

“In 2020, we were called by Colonel Singh...myself and Colonel Moodley, we are transferred to Organized Crime at number 136, but Colonel Moodley will go to SANEB section, then I will go to EPR.”

Lieutenant Colonel Sibiya's temporary assignment lasted from 2020 until his promotion in September 2021, after which he took up a position at Organized Crime in SANEB section.

“For me, I think it was when I was told up until I was promoted. When I was promoted, then I had to take up my post at Organized Crime, but only at a different section, not EPR, at SANEB section.”

During his temporary placement, Lieutenant Colonel Sibiya was stationed at Economic Protected Resources within the Organized Crime office.

“Before you were promoted to SANEB, where were you in that period when you were in temporary placement? ... Economic Protected Resources. ... in the same office at Organized Crime.”

Warrant Officer Sander developed and has been involved in training the Specialized Narcotics Investigation Program since about 2000, which includes training members of SAPS, SANEB, DPCI, Customs, Organized Crime, Crime Intelligence, and FSLA members.

Either there is a genuine investigation into illegal use of Crime Intelligence funds and appointments or the arrests are an attempt by organized crime to frame General Khumalo with false offenses.

“Either there is a genuine investigation into the illegal use of Crime Intelligence funds in relation to these properties and the illegal appointment of a Crime Intelligence Brigadier... The other option is that General Mkhwanazi was right and this was an attempt by Organized Crime to essentially frame General Khumalo in relation to false offenses.”

National SAPS structures and command chains are governed by national instructions such as 12/2017, including organized crime components under Divisional Commissioner.

“There is a national instruction called 12/2017. It calls detective policy... under the detective, there is a DNC... then under the Div Com, there is Components Head. Myself Organized Crime...”
