Shadrack Sibiya Says Cat Matlala Voice Recording Was AI Generated

Suspended Deputy National Police Commissioner Shadrack Sibiya has dismissed a voice recording presented before the Madlanga Commission, claiming it was generated using artificial intelligence.

The recording was introduced by Witness C during testimony linked to attempted murder accused Vusimuzi Matlala, also known as “Cat” Matlala.

In the audio clip, a voice alleged to be Matlala’s can be heard confirming that he gifted Sibiya with 20 impalas.

However, Sibiya told the commission that Matlala himself had disputed the authenticity of the recording.

Addressing the commission, Sibiya said Matlala had objected to the recording.

“I’m very worried about the evidence leader, because she selectively chooses portions that she thinks could only address what she wants to achieve, but also deliberately choosing (sic) to ignore the fact that Mr Matlala raised an issue and said, ‘I have a problem with this recording, this is not my voice, it was AI generated’. That’s the first point.”

Sibiya has firmly denied ever receiving impalas from Matlala.

Images of Distressed Animals Surface

Evidence before the commission shows that Sibiya forwarded images of two impalas that were reportedly in distress to General Khosi Senthumule.

The photographs were sent two days after the alleged delivery of the animals from Matlala. Despite this, Sibiya insists no such delivery took place.

“I categorically deny that I acquired and received any impala from Matlala or from any other person for that matter. No animal was delivered to my plot pursuant to this discussion.

“In fact, the remaining blesbok on my property has already died. In any event, I am no longer in a financial position to maintain any animals, let alone required livestock,” says Sibiya.

The commission continues to hear testimony as it examines the claims and counterclaims surrounding the controversial audio recording.
