Shadrack Sibiya resigns: Dishonourable discharge for South Africa's deputy police chief

South Africa's deputy police chief, Lt Gen Shadrack Sibiya, resigned three weeks after being charged with sexual offenses, including grooming a 16-year-old girl, raping an 18-year-old woman, and trafficking.

The case occurs amid scrutiny of the police force during the Madlanga Commission inquiry into corruption and collusion with criminals.
