# The chief magistrate of Kwaggafontein in Mpumalanga, Tuletu Tonjeni, has retired days after a complaint was lodged to the Magistrate’s Commission over her decision to strike the case against taxi boss Joe Sibanyoni and his co-accused off the roll. She dismissed the extortion and money laundering matter last month after the prosecutor failed to appear. Legal sources say Tonjeni’s retirement means the commission cannot pursue disciplinary action. The National Prosecuting Authority has re-enrolled the case in Delmas, with proceedings set to continue in September.
