The line is directly translated to "You'd never go to sleep hungry. I'm Cat Matlala," alluding to the controversial businessman's wealth.
The line also references Matlala's Woolworths bag saga and his earlier testimony before the Ad Hoc Committee, where he spoke about being a present and supportive father to his nine children with his wife, Tsakani.
"I'm married, and I've got nine children with my wife. I support all of my children."
Matlala's legal saga primarily concerns serious criminal charges, including alleged corruption and the attempted murder of his ex-girlfriend, Tebogo Thobejane.
