Former Deputy National Police Commissioner Shadrack Sibiya has been denied bail in his rape case — but the controversy surrounding him is far from over. Arrested at a Sandton strip club last month, Sibiya faces a string of serious charges, including the alleged sexual grooming of a 16-year-old girl, the alleged rape of an 18-year-old, human trafficking and firearms law violations. Now, the spotlight is also on his lawyer, Amanda Nel, who is facing calls to account for comments critics have described as insensitive to the rape allegation. A senior lawyer at child rights organisation Women and Men Against Child Abuse is leading those calls.
