Madlanga Commission resumes with “Cat” Matlala expected to testify

Matlala was implicated in a controversial multi-million-rand SAPS tender

The Madlanga Commission is set to resume its public hearings on Monday, with alleged crime cartel leader Vusimuzi "Cat" Matlala scheduled to testify. Matlala, who is implicated in a controversial multi-million rand SAPS tender, is expected to provide testimony over the next two days. The commission's Chairperson, retired Justice Mbuyiseli Madlanga, has issued a directive for evidence leaders and Matlala's legal team to submit written arguments on the legal implications of a plea and sentence agreement falling through, as per Section 105A subsection 10 of the Criminal Procedure Act (CPA).

Matlala's return to the commission follows a recent legal dispute stemming from the collapse of his plea and sentence agreement in a separate criminal case.
