约翰内斯堡——南非被停职的副警察总长沙德拉克·西比亚（Shadrack Sibiya）于周一辞去职务，此前他面临腐败指控以及针对他的性犯罪指控。
JOHANNESBURG — South Africa’s suspended deputy head of the police, Shadrack Sibiya, resigned from his position on Monday amid allegations of corruption and alleged sexual offenses leveled against him.
警方发言人阿特伦达·马特（Athlenda Mathe）表示，西比亚原定于周一面临纪律听证会，但他的律师在听证会开始时提交了辞职信。
Sibiya was set to face a disciplinary hearing on Monday but his lawyers tendered his letter of resignation at the start of the proceeding, police spokesperson Athlenda Mathe said.
马特说：“由于这位前高级官员在辞职时面临正在进行的纪律案件，因此他离职被视为不光彩开除。”
“As the former senior officer had an ongoing disciplinary case against him at the time of his resignation, his departure from the service is therefore regarded as a dishonorable discharge,” said Mathe.
西比亚目前在因涉嫌上个月强奸和诱拐未成年人被捕后入狱。他否认了这些指控。他申请保释的听证会已被推迟至10月13日。
Sibiya is currently in prison after he was arrested for alleged rape and grooming of a minor last month. He has denied the charges. His application to be released on bail has been postponed to Oct. 13.
西比亚一直是司法调查委员会的调查对象，该委员会调查南非警方内部广泛存在的腐败指控以及与该国犯罪集团的涉嫌联系。
Sibiya has been the subject of a judicial commission of inquiry investigating wide-ranging allegations of corruption within the South African police and alleged ties to the country’s criminal networks.
在该委员会中，由退休法官姆布伊塞尼·马德兰加（Mbuyiseni Madlanga）主持，西比亚被指控从据称的罪犯那里收受巨额现金和礼物。西比亚在委员会作证期间，否认了针对他的所有指控。他自去年9月起就被停职。
At the commission, which is chaired by retired Judge Mbuyiseni Madlanga, Sibiya has been accused of receiving large sums of cash and gifts from alleged criminals. During his testimony at the commission, Sibiya denied all allegations against him. He had been suspended since September last year.
