00:00South Africa's suspended deputy police chief Shadrach Sibiya has resigned amid corruption allegations and charges involving alleged sexual offences.
00:11Sibiya's lawyers submitted his resignation letter on Monday, just as a disciplinary hearing against him was due to begin.
00:20Police say his departure will be treated as a dishonorable discharge because disciplinary proceedings were still underway.
00:27Sibiya is currently in prison after being arrested last month over allegations of rape and grooming a minor.
00:35He denies the charges and his bail application has been postponed until October 13th.
00:41He is also under scrutiny by a judicial commission investigating alleged corruption within the South African police and links to
00:48criminal networks.
00:50During his testimony, Sibiya denied accusations that he received large sums of money and gifts from alleged criminals.
