South Africa’s Deputy Police Chief Resigns Amid Sexual Offences Charges

October 15, 2026 • 45 minutes ago •

PRETORIA: South Africa’s Deputy Police Chief Shadrack Sibiya has resigned following serious charges of sexual offences, including allegations of grooming a 16-year-old and raping an 18-year-old. The resignation comes amid growing public scrutiny and demands for accountability within the police force.

Sibiya, who has denied the allegations, stated in a press conference that he would defend himself against the charges. The police minister has expressed concern over the impact of such allegations on public trust in law enforcement, emphasizing the need for integrity and transparency within the police ranks.

This resignation raises significant concerns regarding the credibility of South Africa’s police leadership, particularly as the nation grapples with high rates of gender-based violence. Activists have called for a thorough investigation and for measures to ensure that victims feel safe coming forward.

As the investigation unfolds, the police service is expected to implement reforms aimed at restoring public confidence. Further developments are anticipated as the legal proceedings progress, with many watching closely to see how the police handle this sensitive issue.
