A ticking time bomb is about to detonate in South Africa's Parliament: Vusimuzi "Cat" Matlala. This documentary dives into Matlala's explosive testimony before Parliament's Ad-hoc Committee, uncovering corruption, political meddling, and criminal acts within South Africa's justice system. Held at Kgosi Mampuru Maximum Security Prison, Matlala is set to reveal details that could reshape public trust.
The Ad-hoc Committee is investigating suspended Police Minister Senzo Mchunu and Deputy National Police Commissioner Lieutenant-General Shadrack Sibiya. Matlala claims they failed to protect him despite receiving payments. Will he expose alleged favoritism and financial ties?
Adding to the drama, Brown Mogotsi accuses ANC Secretary-General Fikile Mbalula of involvement in Wandile Bozwana's murder. Mbalula is in court seeking a retraction, claiming the allegations endanger his life.
Led by chairperson Soviet Lekganyane, the Ad-hoc Committee will hear from Matlala and review over 286 submissions. They're coordinating with Correctional Services to ensure Matlala's secure appearance. His testimony could build on information from Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi and Bheki Cele.
The video traces Matlala's arrest back to May 14, after surveillance following a visit to Riah Phiyega's home. The arrest followed the attempted murder of Tebogo Thobejane in Johannesburg on October 17, 2023. Thobejane was wounded, and her friend Anele Malinga was paralyzed. Matlala faces charges including attempted murder, fraud, and money laundering.
Interviews reveal Matlala detailing financial support for Mchunu within the ANC, including funding for anniversary celebrations. He claims R500,000 in payments. Matlala intends to implicate Mchunu after his R360 million contract was canceled.
Matlala also described cash payments to Sibiya, meeting at Zanemvula Jothan Msibi's farm. Sibiya allegedly sought financial support for protection.
These allegations have prompted reactions. Sibiya, suspended, is seeking to cross-examine colleagues.
Mogotsi's claims against Mbalula have led to court action, with Mbalula claiming his safety is threatened.
