Mpumalanga taxi tycoon Joe “Ferrari” Sibanyoni and his three co-accused may soon find themselves back in the dock after the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) said it intends to reinstate their extortion and money laundering case once legal requirements are met.
The Kwaggafontein Magistrate’s Court struck the matter off the roll on Monday after senior prosecutor Mkhuseli Ntaba failed to appear for bail proceedings, despite a direct order from the presiding magistrate.

NPA spokesperson Kaizer Kganyago said the case was not over.
“… I want the public to understand that when it is struck off the roll, it means we can bring it back onto the roll,” he said.
“That can only be done when the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) in Mpumalanga brings it right back to the court to re-enrol this matter. And that is going to happen.”
