According to the source, murder-accused businessman Vusimuzi "Cat" Matlala has expressed hatred for alleged political fixer Brown Mogotsi, stating that Mogotsi "caused a lot of problems for me" and ended their relationship after Matlala's arrest. Additionally, ANC secretary-general Fikile Mbalula called upon the church to pray for corrupt members of the party, urging them to forgive and pray for those who make mistakes within the organization.
