KZN TOP COP MKHWANAZI REVEALS WHY ‘CAT’ MATLALA WAS MOVED FROM C-MAX PRISON

MDN tv — Wed, 18 Mar 2026 17:13:47 +0000

KwaZulu-Natal Police Commissioner Lieutenant General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi has revealed explosive details behind the transfer of controversial businessman Vusimuzi “Cat” Matlala from Kgosi Mampuru II Correctional Centre to Ebhongweni Maximum Correctional Centre in KwaZulu-Natal.

Appearing before the Ad Hoc Committee in Parliament, Mkhwanazi outlined serious security concerns and alleged irregularities inside the high security C-Max facility.

He told the committee that Matlala, who is facing attempted murder charges, was enjoying unusual freedom inside the prison.

According to Mkhwanazi, Matlala had close relationships with senior officials at the facility, including the head of the prison.

This alleged relationship enabled him to move around freely and operate with ease within one of South Africa’s most secure correctional environments.

“I’m not going to explain part of the reasons why there was a motivation for him to move away from there, but that’s part of the problems that have been experienced,” Mkhwanazi told the committee.

The situation escalated after Correctional Services Commissioner Makgothi Thobakgale intervened following concerns raised publicly.

The commissioner deployed officials to conduct a search inside the C-Max facility.

During the operation, authorities discovered a prohibited cellphone inside Matlala’s cell block, which he was sharing with two other inmates.

The device has since become a key piece of evidence in ongoing investigations.

Mkhwanazi confirmed that the cellphone is already assisting investigators in building the case.

“The phone has helped us with a lot of these things where the case is,” he said.

However, serious questions remain about how such a device made its way into one of the country’s most secure prison sections.

Mkhwanazi pointed directly to the alleged relationships between Matlala and prison leadership as a possible enabling factor.

“Mr Cat Matlala was found with a cellphone inside prison,” he emphasised.

The revelations have raised alarm over security breaches, internal collusion, and the integrity of correctional facilities meant to house high risk inmates.

MK Party MP Sibonelo Nomvalo Warns Witnesses Might Start Asking for Valentine’s Gifts, Eggs, and Bacon

MDN tv — Thu, 05 Feb 2026 06:04:26 +0000

Sibonelo Nomvalo, a Member of Parliament from the uMkhonto weSizwe Party, is pushing back against witnesses who can’t show up in person for a special parliamentary committee looking into claims of misconduct and interference in the justice system. He says they need solid proof to back up their excuses.

This comes after the committee tried to get subpoenas for forensic investigator Paul O’Sullivan and North West businessman Brown Mogotsi to testify in Cape Town. The National Assembly Speaker wasn’t keen on issuing them.

Nomvalo told reporters that some of these requests from witnesses are getting out of hand. For example, he pointed out that Mogotsi should provide a police report proving there’s a real security threat against him. “You can’t just act like a spoiled kid,” Nomvalo said. “Next thing you know, they’ll be demanding pizza, bacon, eggs, or even gifts for their girlfriends on Valentine’s Day.”

He stressed that there needs to be official confirmation from trained police about any dangers. Nomvalo also criticized the Speaker for not helping the committee use its powers under the Constitution, which allows Parliament to summon anyone for evidence.

Recently, O’Sullivan pushed back against Nomvalo and the MK Party after the MP said he should come back to South Africa to testify in person. O’Sullivan had offered to do it virtually from London and denied fleeing to avoid the committee.

Nomvalo called O’Sullivan’s attitude disrespectful. “He’s been threatening MPs and witnesses, showing no respect for Parliament,” he said. “We decided to subpoena him because he acts like he’s above it all, like a spoiled brat. He doesn’t get that things are different now with the MK Party involved, he’s not dealing with his old buddies he used to control.”

The committee is chaired by Molapi Soviet Lekganyane and is focused on these serious allegations.
