Cat Matlala implicated in corruption

Matlala has been implicated by witnesses who testified before the Ad Hoc Committee and the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry. The Madlanga Commission, which runs parallel to the Ad Hoc Committee, is holding public hearings in Tshwane as it investigates the allegations KwaZulu-Natal Provincial Commissioner General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi made about the criminal justice system on 6 July 2025 in Durban, KwaZulu-Natal.

He has been allegedly linked with politicians and top police officers from various law enforcement agencies. These include the suspended Deputy National Commissioner General Shadrack Sibiya and police minister Senzo Mchunu. Matlala has been behind bars since he was arrested for allegedly trying to kill his ex-girlfriend, actress and socialite Tebogo Mokwena.

This is a developing story.
