Speaking to the media outside Pretoria High Court, Sibiya says that his suspension is a breach of his contract employment.
“As per regulations, as per what the Constitution dictates. So, even if you feel that maybe, perhaps, I could be involved in something, there are processes, there are laws to be followed, you don’t just act nilly-willy.”
