The commission has also heard allegations that Mkhwanazi drafted unauthorised Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) that benefited underworld tycoon, Vusimuzi " Cat" 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).
