Madlanga Commission questions Matlala about loans from Steve Motsumi
Matlala was also questioned extensively about his relationship with businessman Hangwani Maumela
The Madlanga Commission recently questioned crime figure Vusimuzi 'Cat' Matlala about a loan of R5 million from businessman Steve Motsumi. During testimony on Tuesday, Matlala stated the loan was given for renovations to a hospital lease project at SAPS Pretoria West College. The R5 million was fully repaid in 2025, separate from a proposed R20 million investment that never came to fruition.
Matlala also discussed his business partnership with Hangwani Maumela, revealing they pooled resources into government contracts and shared profits. The commission will continue questioning Matlala on Wednesday, while he hinted at potential involvement in a Special Investigating Unit probe linked to Gauteng Health Department tenders, though he declined to specify the alleged offense.
Throughout the proceedings, Matlala has invoked his right against self-incrimination, especially when addressing claims of relationships with top police officials and judicial matters.
