The NPA says an urgent court application seeking to interdict the execution of arrest warrants in the matter involving taxi boss Madoda Johannes Sibanyoni and others has been withdrawn, bringing the legal challenge to an end.
The National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) has confirmed that an urgent court application brought to stop the execution of arrest warrants in the case involving Madoda Johannes Sibanyoni and others has been formally withdrawn.
According to the NPA, the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) for the Mpumalanga Division received a notice of withdrawal on Friday, May 29, from attorneys representing Messrs Sibanyoni and Sindane.
The applicants had lodged an urgent application on Wednesday, May 27, seeking to interdict the execution of a J50 warrant of arrest against the accused. The matter was scheduled to be heard on May 28 at the Delmas Magistrates’ Court.
NPA national spokesperson Kaizer Kganyago, said the application followed the prosecution’s decision to re-enrol the criminal case, which had previously been struck off the roll on 18 May 2026 in the Kwaggafontein Magistrates’ Court.
