Mpumalanga taxi boss Joe “Ferrari” Sibanyoni is among three suspects arrested in a major extortion crackdown linked to a Kwaggafontein businessman.
The criminal case against taxi kingpin Joe "Ferrari" Sibanyoni has been struck off the court roll, bringing an abrupt end to proceedings that had captured widespread public attention.
The decision was made after the prosecutor failed to appear in court on Monday.
Sibanyoni, Bafana Sindane, Mvimbi Daniel Masilela, and Philemon Msiza appeared in the Kwaggafontein Magistrate’s Court where they faced charges of money laundering and extortion.
It is alleged that the group extorted more than R2 million in ‘protection fees’ from a mining businessman between 2022 and 2025.
