The National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) has lodged a formal complaint with the Magistrates Commission against Chief Magistrate Ms Tuletu Tonjeni, following court proceedings in the matter involving Mr Madoda Johannes Sibanyoni and others in Kwaggafontein.
Joe “Ferrari” Sibanyoni and his co-accused are charged with extortion and money laundering.
The State alleges that between 2022 and 2025, the group unlawfully demanded “protection fees” from a businessman, reportedly linked to mining and infrastructure-related operations, amounting to about R2.2 million in total.
The complaint, filed on Tuesday by the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) in Mpumalanga, relates to proceedings held on 15 and 18 May 2026 in the State versus Sibanyoni and Others case.
