The inquiry into the illegal arrest and deportation of a group of Zimbabweans ruled on Friday that suspended Gauteng Hawks head Major General Shadrack Sibiya be dismissed for his role in the renditions.
According to News24, Hawks spokesperson Brigadier Hangwani Mulaudzi quoted chairperson Mxolisi Zondo as saying: "Accordingly, it is my view that the offence is serious enough and of such gravity to warrant dismissal and for that reason I impose a sanction of dismissal on General Sibiya."
Mulaudzi said both the Hawks' and Sibiya's legal representative had been notified of the decision, so he was "quite sure" Sibiya had been informed.
The inquiry found in July that Sibiya was "complicit" in the illegal arrest and deportation of the Zimbabweans, wanted for murder in that country.
Sibiya had denied the claims, saying certain people were trying to get back at him for his investigation into murder allegations against former intelligence boss Richard Mdluli.
