Two teenagers have told a South African court they fear for their safety and that of their families if former police official Shadrack Sibiya is released on bail. The 16-year-old and 18-year-old complainants shared their concerns during a bail hearing in Randburg Magistrate’s Court. Their statements were read out by State prosecutor Velile Makhasana. Sibiya faces charges of rape, sexual grooming, and human trafficking. The court is considering whether to grant him bail. The victims’ fears highlight the potential risks they believe could arise if Sibiya is released. The case has drawn attention due to the severity of the allegations. The court has not yet decided on Sibiya’s bail request. The victims’ statements underscore the emotional weight of the situation. Their concerns reflect a broader anxiety about personal safety in legal proceedings. The case remains under review. The court will make its decision in due course.
