Joe “Ferrari” Sibanyoni Is Finished, What Madlanga FOUND Is Scary

What happens when a powerful taxi boss takes the witness stand and admits that hitmen operate inside parts of the taxi industry — but insists he is not one of the people behind them? That is the explosive question now hanging over the Madlanga Commission after Mpumalanga taxi boss Joe “Ferrari” Sibanyoni gave testimony that exposed the brutal economics behind taxi violence while drawing a firm line between himself and the alleged killers operating within the industry. Sibanyoni did not deny that izinkabi exist. In fact, his testimony went in the opposite direction. He acknowledged that alleged hitmen are used in some corners of the taxi industry and explained that their services are not necessarily paid for with envelopes of cash. According to Sibanyoni, some people involved in killings can allegedly be rewarded with something potentially even more valuable — access to lucrative taxi routes. And that revelation goes straight to the heart of why taxi violence in South Africa has proved so difficult to eradicate.
