Madlanga Commission corruption inquiry

Overview

The Madlanga Commission of Inquiry is investigating the alleged criminal infiltration of law enforcement agencies in South Africa. Central to the proceedings is Vusimuzi “Cat” Matlala, an accused in an attempted murder case, who has been ordered to file supplementary affidavits and legal arguments regarding his testimony.

During the inquiry, Matlala has addressed several high-profile matters, including the Medicare24 Tshwane District tender and allegations regarding the potential replacement of Crime Intelligence Head Dumisani Khumalo. Matlala has frequently invoked his right against self-incrimination to avoid answering specific questions related to pending criminal proceedings.

Further testimony has focused on Matlala’s interactions with suspended Deputy National Police Commissioner Shadrack Sibiya. Matlala described Sibiya as “someone that I knew” rather than a close friend, stating their contact involved the November 2024 disappearance of businessman Jerry Boshoga. This disappearance has brought increased scrutiny to potential links between criminal syndicates and police corruption.
