CAPE TOWN - National Police Commissioner, Fannie Masemola, has testified about alleged attempts to interfere with police investigations in Gauteng.
Masemola told the Parliament Ad Hoc Committee on Tuesday that suspended Deputy National Commissioner for Crime Detection Shadrack Sibiya, along with Vusimuzi 'Cat' Matlala and Brown Mogotsi, allegedly tried to block ongoing investigations.

He said chat messages between the trio suggest they were attempting to gain access to case dockets.
These include high-profile investigations like the killing of engineer Armand Swart.
Masemola returned to the hot seat at the Ad Hoc Committee to respond to allegations that criminals had infiltrated the national security complex.
Last year, he testified about the disbandment of the Political Killings Task Team.
He claimed Police Minister Senzo Mchunu's instruction to disband the task team encroached on his mandate.
