Mpumalanga taxi boss Bafana Sindane set to appear before Madlanga Commission - EWN

A taxi boss from Mpumalanga, Bafana Sindane, is set to appear at the Madlanga Commission on Wednesday.

However, a postponement application is anticipated due to his legal team's unavailability.

Sindane is an associate of taxi industry tycoon Joe Sibanyoni.

He’s also Sibanyoni’s co-accused in a multimillion-rand extortion case.

Sindane is expected to discuss his alleged association with police officers, as well as messages with Sibanyoni, which Sibanyoni attempted to clarify during his testimony this week.

"25 June 2025, 'We are in charge of the streets'. This expression requires contextual understanding. Taken in isolation, it may appear alarming. In context, this was an expression that we are in charge of ourselves and out running on a daily. It's personal motivation of healthy lifestyle and nothing must be attributed to the statement."
