Matlala refuses to comment on impalas being given to Sibiya

A recording played before the Commission last year alleged the delivery to Sibiya’s farm

Vusimuzi "Cat" Matlala, a suspected cartel leader, has informed the Madlanga Commission that he is unwilling to discuss the reported delivery of impalas to Lieutenant-General Shadrack Sibiya, a suspended deputy national police commissioner. During his testimony, Matlala stated that he has no connection with the EMPD, and only considers Julius Mkhwanazi, an EMPD official, as a friend.

He mentioned that the recordings related to the matter are currently under investigation, and he does not wish to implicate himself through his comments. Matlala also clarified that he was unaware of the recordings when he submitted his affidavit and only became aware of them afterward. When asked if he was coerced or threatened to provide false information, Matlala could not comment further, as he does not want to jeopardize his own case.
