WhatsApp chats and video evidence presented at the Madlanga Commission reveal alleged drug dealings involving Mediacare24 CEO Michael van Wyk and tenderpreneur Vusimuzi Matlala.

Previous evidence before the inquiry linked Van Wyk to alleged crime figure Vusumuzi “Cat” Matlala and suspended acting EMPD commissioner Julius Mkhwanazi.

Among the most striking exchanges was a message in which Matlala appeared to express confidence about influence within the South African Police Service (SAPS).
