The Madlanga Commission heard WhatsApp evidence involving Vusimuzi Matlala and Mike van Wyk.
The Madlanga Commission on Monday saw evidence from WhatsApp chats between alleged underworld tycoon Vusimuzi “Cat” Matlala and his associate, Mike van Wyk, including discussions about senior police leadership and suspected drug transactions.
The messages, presented by chief evidence leader Matthew Chaskalson, have intensified scrutiny over the relationship between the two men and their alleged activities.
Among the most striking exchanges was a message in which Matlala appeared to express confidence about influence within the South African Police Service (SAPS).
“My person is going to be a national commissioner,” Matlala allegedly told Van Wyk during a discussion about a report concerning an alleged police rogue unit.
