JOHANNESBURG - South African National Commissioner for Crime Detection, Lieutenant-General Shadrack Sibiya, is fighting back against National Police Commissioner, Fannie Masemola's, notice of suspension against him.
Sibiya's legal team says the suspension is unlawful and riddled with irregularities.
They're demanding it be withdrawn immediately.
Sibiya's lawyers are also pushing to stop parallel proceedings against him.
This application is scheduled to be heard on the 26th of August.
Sibiya's lawyers warn they may seek court orders against the process and even pursue costs against Masemola.
