										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;">KwaZulu-Natal Police Commissioner General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi has closed the Ad Hoc Committee hearings with a dramatic and confrontational appearance that has left Parliament under pressure.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;">After months of intense testimony, Mkhwanazi did not hold back.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;">Instead of simply concluding his evidence, he turned his focus directly on committee members, questioning their leadership, approach and handling of the investigation.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;">He made it clear that the information he presented was not personal, but the result of a collective investigation, reinforcing the weight of the allegations before Parliament.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;">But the most striking moment came when he moved to correct the record.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;">Mkhwanazi requested permission to withdraw one allegation after revealing that a critical error had occurred during the extraction of data from Vusi Matlala’s devices.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;">According to his testimony, a case of mistaken identity led investigators to link financial transactions to the wrong individual.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;">The person, who had a number similar to former Police Minister Bheki Cele stored under the name Ndosi, allegedly received money from Matlala.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;">Believing it was legitimate, the man reportedly spent the money before communication with Matlala suddenly stopped.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;">Mkhwanazi confirmed that the individual would not face charges.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;">Despite this correction, he stood firm on all other allegations made earlier in the inquiry, refusing to retract any further claims.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;">The hearing intensified when a handwritten letter from a prisoner linked to Matlala was introduced.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;">The letter allegedly implicated high profile figures, including legal representatives connected to suspended Police Minister Senzo Mchunu, senior officials within the National Prosecuting Authority and other unnamed SAPS leadership figures.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;">Mkhwanazi went further, making bold claims about internal power struggles within law enforcement.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;">He suggested that if Mchunu had remained in office, key cases linked to Matlala could have collapsed and senior leadership positions within SAPS could have been reshaped.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;">He openly labelled senior officials within the police as untrustworthy and accused others of dishonesty, deepening the sense of division at the highest levels of law enforcement.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;">The tension spilled into open confrontation during exchanges with Members of Parliament, including a heated moment with MP Fadiel Adams.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;">But the proceedings continued.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;">In a powerful closing message, Mkhwanazi urged the committee to go further and seize the devices and full administrative records of Minister Mchunu as part of the investigation.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;">He also outlined what he described as the three critical drivers of crime in South Africa, pointing to cash in transit heists, tender systems and border control failures.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;">As the hearings officially come to an end, Committee Chairperson Soviet Lekganyane confirmed that the findings will soon be released to the public.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;">Now the country waits.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;">Because what started as a parliamentary inquiry has now exposed deep fractures within South Africa’s law enforcement leadership.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;">And the final report could have serious consequences for some of the most powerful figures in the system.</p>

<p>Sibiya dropped this bomb after he had asked the Madlanga Commission to play a recording where he is facing cross examination at Madlanga Commission.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-80811" src="https://mdntvlive.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/IMG-20260219-WA0010.webp" alt="" width="1000" height="666" srcset="https://mdntvlive.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/IMG-20260219-WA0010.webp 1000w, https://mdntvlive.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/IMG-20260219-WA0010-300x200.webp 300w, https://mdntvlive.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/IMG-20260219-WA0010-768x511.webp 768w, https://mdntvlive.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/IMG-20260219-WA0010-150x100.webp 150w, https://mdntvlive.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/IMG-20260219-WA0010-450x300.webp 450w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /></p>
<p>Sibiya further said that the company that paid for Senthumule&#8217;s BBL was Meducare 24 which is the company owned businessman by Vusimuzi &#8220;Cat&#8221; Matlala.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-80807" src="https://mdntvlive.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/IMG-20260205-WA0077.webp" alt="" width="720" height="1080" srcset="https://mdntvlive.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/IMG-20260205-WA0077.webp 720w, https://mdntvlive.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/IMG-20260205-WA0077-200x300.webp 200w, https://mdntvlive.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/IMG-20260205-WA0077-683x1024.webp 683w, https://mdntvlive.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/IMG-20260205-WA0077-150x225.webp 150w, https://mdntvlive.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/IMG-20260205-WA0077-450x675.webp 450w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px" /></p>
<p>From the morning l, it seemed as if Sibiya does not want to go down alone when he revealed Senthumele&#8217;s alleged links with Matlala.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&#8220;It has been alleged that General Senthumule personally benefited from Matlala in circumstances that were not disclosed. These allegations include certain medical procedures, the cost of which were paid for by Matlala. I am advised that these benefits were not declared through any formal disclosure. I think we , we had a witness F here that spoke about some senior SAPS senior managers who recieved BBL,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Sibiya said that there were reasoning he was revealing all of this is because of a statement he made about him to SAPS National Commissioner Lieutenant General Fanie Masemola.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&#8220;A further point of concern for me is that General Senthumule has publicly denied having a an association with Matlala. This denial is however difficult to reconcile with information that has come to my attention in particular, it appears that Matlala was invited on the instruction of Senthumule to attend SAPS Service Excellence Awards and that the donation was accepted from this company Medicare24 in connection with that event. I am in possession of a WhatsApp communication which indicate that General Senthumule instructed General Manamela to extend an invitation to attend the Service Excellence Awards,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>It further emerged that Matlala donated 10 fridges during the event.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>It will be revealed that Brigadier Rachel Matjeng had earlier revealed she knew colleagues who’d had BBLs, but didn’t say who funded them.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Now Sibiya has put Senthumule front and center in the shocking commission testimony.</p>
