Vusimuzi 'Cat' Matlala appears before Parly committee probing police corruption

Attempted murder accused, Vusimuzi 'Cat' Matlala, has arrived for his appearance before Parliament’s ad hoc committee to give his testimony after a slight delay.

Matlala is currently awaiting trial at the Kgosi Mampuru Correctional Facility in Pretoria.

The committee moved its operations to the prison for the week.

Matlala arrived under correctional services security escort before taking his seat on the witness stand as proceedings began.

He appeared despite his lawyer issuing legal threats on Wednesday to interdict the process to get more time to prepare for his testimony.

Matlala is expected to give evidence on Wednesday and Thursday on allegations that he tried to influence police operations, used police blue lights illegally and irregularly received a multimillion-rand tender.
