Cat Matlala to rejoin 14 accused in R228m Medicare 24 corruption case

Vusimuzi "Cat" Matlala and two of his companies are to be reconnected with the 14 other accused individuals in the Medicare 24 Tshwane District corruption case, following a postponement of his case by the Pretoria Specialised Commercial Crime Court. The matter will be formally joined with the others on September 25, 2026, and the combined case is expected to be transferred to the Pretoria Regional Court on September 29, 2026.

The postponement was granted in Matlala's absence, as his legal representative informed the court that he was attending a trial at the Johannesburg High Court. Matlala and his companies are accused of irregularities in the awarding of a contract worth around R228 million to Medicare 24 Tshwane District.
