Joe Sibanyoni, a prominent figure in South Africa's taxi industry known as 'Ferrari,' is currently facing extortion charges. He gained his nickname from his fondness for luxury cars. Sibanyoni's name has appeared in the Madlanga Commission, which investigated violence in the taxi industry.
In a separate incident, Sibanyoni survived an alleged assassination attempt linked to a hit ordered by Matlala. The details of this case remain under investigation, and no further verified information is available as of May 14, 2026.
Sibanyoni's legal battles and the alleged hit highlight ongoing tensions in the taxi industry. The Madlanga Commission's findings have previously pointed to systemic issues, but specific outcomes related to Sibanyoni are not publicly confirmed.
