Madlanga Inquiry: Matlala admits to paying Shadrack Sibiya R500K
Matlala declined to publicly explain the reasons for the payments, citing safety concerns.
Former attempted murder suspect Vusimuzi "Cat" Matlala has admitted to providing former deputy national police commissioner Shadrack Sibiya with R500,000 for his son's wedding in the North-West, according to the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry. Additionally, Matlala confirmed making another payment of R50,000 for travel expenses related to an awards event held in Durban.
Nevertheless, Matlala chose not to disclose the motives behind these transactions, citing safety and security concerns. He informed Commissioner Sesi Baloyi that he would be willing to provide further clarification in a different setting. Baloyi then inquired if Matlala would be open to explaining the payments in a confidential or alternative forum, to which Matlala agreed, stating "Yes, in another forum, yes. Thank you."
