Sibiya's suspension notice withdrawn
The suspension notice served on Gauteng Hawks head Maj-Gen Shadrack Sibiya has been withdrawn, the Hawks said on Wednesday.
"Yes, it has been withdrawn. It was withdrawn yesterday [Tuesday] by [acting Hawks head] Gen Berning Ntlemeza," Hawks spokesman Brigadier Hangwani Mulaudzi confirmed by phone, ahead of the matter being heard in court.
"Unfortunately, I can't give the reasons why right now, as we still have the case at the Labour Court... It's just a formality at court. We are just following protocol and seeing the matter finalised."
Sibiya was due to head to the Labour Court on Wednesday to challenge the suspension notice from the Hawks, which was served on him last Monday.
He was given a week to give reasons why he should not be suspended.
The suspension relates to Sibiya's alleged involvement in facilitating the illegal rendition of Zimbabweans.
Senior Hawks official, Colonel Leslie Maluleke, was also reportedly served with a notice of suspension last week. On December 23,
Hawks boss Anwa Dramat was suspended over his alleged involvement in the November 2010 renditions.
