Suspended organised crime head Major-General Richard Shibiri has been fired.
According to reports, Shibiri’s dismissal was recommended by a disciplinary hearing for bringing the South African Police Service (Saps) into disrepute by associating with murder-accused Vusimuzi ‘Cat’ Matlala.
Dismissal
Shibiri received his dismissal letter on 22 May 2026. The top cop is expected to challenge this decision at the Commission for Conciliation, Mediation and Arbitration (CCMA).
His devices have also been returned by the Madlanga Commission task team, according to eNCA.
