South Africa - Pretoria - 24 August 2026 - Controversial businessman Vusimuzi Matlala, appeared before at the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry.
Vusimuzi “Cat” Matlala's testimony at the Madlanga Commission enters day four with his relationship with businessman Hangwani Maumela and a disputed R4 million payment trail firmly in focus.
Before the commission could begin, Matlala’s lawyer, Anneline van der Heever, requested an hour’s delay to engage with her client on the documents they have in hand.
Matlala faced intense questioning on Tuesday over his links to taxi bosses Jotham “King Mswazi” Msibi and Steve Motsumi, amid allegations connecting some figures in the taxi industry to the Big Five cartel.
But his dealings with Maumela have opened another line of questioning.
