Sibiya is accused of being responsible for the death of Gerald Viljoen, after being involved in an accident on the N11 (Hendrina Road) near Extension 24 in February 2014.<\/p>\n
Mr Viljoen, who was travelling to work on a motorbike, was declared dead on the scene after he collided with the Mercedes Benz Mr Sibiya was driving.<\/p>\n
Mr Sibiya ran away from the scene and only reported the accident hours later. He works as the head of emergency services at the Hendrina Power Station.<\/p>\n
Testimonies given in court shocked Mr Viljoen’s widow, Jacqui, who heard the grizzly details of how her husband died.<\/p>\n
“He was thrown meters into the air. He was lying next to the road in a fetus position. It breaks me to hear how much he suffered,” a teary Mrs Viljoen said during a break in proceedings. Standing by her side was a protective Ricardo, her 15 year-old son, still dressed in his school clothes.<\/p>\n
Nonkwanda (surname unknown) testified that she sat in the back of the Mercedes and did not see the collision happen.<\/p>\n
She said that Mr Sibiya was drinking and speeding at the time of the accident.<\/p>\n
