DARKEST CONFESSION OUT OF MADLANGA; Joe Ferrari Just Got Angry & Exposed The Big 5 Cartel Members
A explosive day of testimony at the Madlanga Commission uncovered the terrifying inner workings of a deadly taxi cartel operating inside South Africa.
Taking the witness stand, Joe Ferrari Siboni delivered a chilling account of how powerful underworld bosses ran the South African Police Service like their own personal enterprise.
Looking directly at the inquiry panel, Joe Ferrari Siboni named the high-profile ringleaders controlling the syndicate, explicitly identifying Mr. McBi, Cat Matlala, and KT Molefe as the true heads of the cartel machine.
The witness explained that he spent years living in fear and running for his life because he knew the true identities of the figures operating behind the bloodshed.
Reflecting on the wave of brutal killings in Mamelodi and Soweto, Joe Ferrari Siboni realized that the alignment between Cat Matlala, KT Molefe, and Mr. McBi signaled that the deadly game was fully underway.
The commission heard how Joe Ferrari Siboni directly confronted Mr. McBi over a violent hit attempt that occurred in 2006.
During that confrontation, Joe Ferrari Siboni reminded Mr. McBi without evasion that Mr. McBi had dispatched hitmen to murder him in 2006, leaving him shot and severely injured before he miraculously survived.
When questioned by commissioners about why Mr. McBi surrounded himself with lethal hitmen, Joe Ferrari Siboni clarified that the armed deployment was an aggressive attack directed at him rather than a protective shield.
Following the initial attempt on his life, Joe Ferrari Siboni fled the taxi sector entirely, seeking refuge in the trucking industry for nearly three years to stay alive.
A severe economic recession eventually forced Joe Ferrari Siboni back toward the taxi business, prompting him to launch a public media campaign in the Sunday World to demand government intervention against Mr. McBi.
That public outcry triggered an official meeting with the Department of Transport where Joe Ferrari Siboni openly pointed out Mr. McBi in front of industry stakeholders, declaring that he could not operate because of Mr. McBi‘s targeted hostility.
Tragedy hung heavy over the room as Joe Ferrari Siboni revealed that many former association operators were missing from the industry because they had been systematically killed in root wars.
Despite the extreme danger, Joe Ferrari Siboni survived a second deliberate attempt on his life on 10 August 2022, enduring decades of violence without seeking private vengeance.
Appearing under a legal subpoena created by a Regulation 106 notice, Joe Ferrari Siboni emphasized that he came before the inquiry not as a criminal, but as a law-abiding businessman employing 250 people across multiple commercial entities.
As the President of the South African Local and Long-Distance Taxi and Bus Organization, Joe Ferrari Siboni detailed how structural exclusion under the Motor Carrier Transport Act of 1930 planted the historic seeds for modern cartel warfare.
The testimony traced how deregulation under the Transport Deregulation Act of 1988 caused taxi numbers to explode from 3,752 to nearly 39,641 within three years, sparking fierce war over profitable transport routes.
Addressing the structural drivers of violence documented in the Shongu Commission, Joe Ferrari Siboni explained how taxi associations act as powerful gatekeepers, forcing new operators to seek formal approval letters before obtaining official permits from the Provincial Regulatory Entity.
The witness concluded his emotional opening by describing himself as a father, husband, and survivor of faith who survived two separate hits only through divine providence, expressing hope that the commission will finally deliver the legal accountability that past institutions failed to provide.
