US EditionVusimuzi 'Cat' Matlala Testifies Before Ad Hoc Committee Despite Unsigned Statement
Matlala will address allegations of paying up to R5 million in bribes and a cancelled R360 million tender linked to police corruption within the justice system.
- On Tuesday, November 25, Vusimuzi "Cat" Matlala is due to appear before Parliament's Ad Hoc Committee at the Kgosi Mampuru Correctional Centre in Pretoria to answer allegations of police corruption, while Chad Thomas expects his testimony to be explosive and confirmatory.
- Brown Mogotsi told the Madlanga Commission this month that he raised allegations linking him to claims involving a R360 million tender awarded to Medicare 24 that was cancelled last year.
- Observers say Matlala communicated directly with South African Police Service generals and brigadiers in improper circumstances, while Mogotsi alleged bribes of R2 million to R5 million to Lieutenant General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi and Bheki Cele.
- Legal observers say Matlala could be offered a plea bargain as his case moves from the Alex Court to the High Court, while commentators warn he may implicate a 'bigger fish' to protect himself.
- Conflicting accounts at the Madlanga Commission raise questions about who truly leads criminal syndicates, as Matthew Chaskalson dismissed parts of Mogotsi's claims and Matlala portrays himself as a top figure.
