Prominent taxi boss Madoda “Joe Ferrari” Sibanyoni and three co-accused appear Kwaggafontein Magistrate’s Court.
The National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) says that an instruction has already gone out for the court matter involving prominent taxi boss Madoda “Joe Ferrari” Sibanyoni and three co-accused to be re-enrolled.
The case was struck off the roll by the Kwaggafontein Magistrate’s Court in Mpumalanga on Monday.
This is due to the prosecutor, Mkhuseli Ntaba, not showing up in court.
NPA spokesperson, Kaizer Kganyago, says they are expecting a report from Ntaba on Tuesday afternoon, which will explain his reasons for not being in court.
“The instruction from the NDPP (National Director of Public Prosecutions) has already gone, and as I speak to you- as part of this report that is still coming, we will also know how far this matter is- but the instruction to re- enroll the matter has already gone, and they’ve started the process. As at early this morning, they were already talking to the investigating officers, and checking what needs to be done, so that this matter can be re- enrolled.”
