Drama at Madlanga Commission: Shadrack Sibiya’s Close associate arrested after threatening Journalist
The ongoing Madlanga Commission was disrupted today following the sudden arrest of Stuart Scharnick, a close associate of suspended top cop Shadrack Sibiya.
The incident unfolded during the morning tea break when Scharnick allegedly confronted and threatened a journalist from the Sowetan newspaper.
The reporter was reportedly taking photographs of Scharnick while he was engaged in a conversation with member of parliament Fadiel Adams.
Security and law enforcement intervened swiftly following the altercation, taking Scharnick into custody directly from the venue.
The commission’s proceedings have been heavily impacted by a string of recent arrests, leading onlookers to comment on the rapidly thinning room as the investigation intensifies.
Further updates on the charges against Scharnick are expected as the police formalise the arrest.
