Mr Sibanyoni

target within the industry, not predator
Mr Sibanyoni is a figure associated with SANTACO, the South African National Taxi Council, though his precise role within the organisation was the subject of some uncertainty during the commission’s proceedings. General Dlamini, testifying on Day 97, referred to him as the “big boss” of SANTACO, suggesting a position of senior leadership, though the general’s own identification of the organisation was tentative. Beyond this characterisation, the record provides little additional detail about Sibanyoni’s background or the specific nature of his involvement in matters before the inquiry, leaving his exact responsibilities and the context of his mention largely open to interpretation.
