SAfm, Tuesday morning

In witness protection in a house with your family, or you want to spend it awaiting trial? Police commissioner General Shadrack Sibiya allegedly threatened him through his wife ahead of his appearance before Parliament's ad hoc committee. Matlala accepted the accuracy of a paragraph in his section 124 affidavit stating that his wife informed him that Sibiya had contacted her on several occasions.

And he warned that he should not reveal information about him to the committee. He, however, declined to provide further details on the alleged threats, telling the commission he could not comment for safety reasons. Prior to me testifying before the ad hoc committee, my wife Sakani Matala informed me that Sibiya had made telephonic contact with her from a private number on more than one occasion. Sakani informed me that Sibiya will constantly remind her.

By way of threat, that I should not disclose anything about him, meaning Sibiya, to the ad hoc community, failing which my life and that of my family will be placed in harm's way. I am Sibashi Marta in Pretoria. And that's how we come to an end of today's edition of First Take SA.
