Madlanga Inquiry can’t resume without lead counsel: Matlala’s lawyer
Cat Matlala is central to the inquiry’s probe, including the Medicare24 Tshwane District Tender.
The Madlanga Commission has denied underworld figure Vusimuzi "Cat" Matlala's request to postpone his testimony until Tuesday. Instead, his legal team will argue for his right against self-incrimination. Matlala's lawyers initially sought to delay his testimony until the following day, but the commission refused, granting a shorter adjournment to allow his legal team to consult with him beforehand.
During his previous appearance, Matlala read from his statement but refused to answer questions related to ongoing court cases, including the Medicare24 Tshwane contract with the South African Police Service (SAPS). The commission is scheduled to press Matlala further on his meetings with businessmen at the late taxi boss Jonathan Msibi's residence on Monday.
