A commission hearing questions Cat Matlala over whether she forwarded proof of a R4 million payment connected to taxi boss Jotham Msibi, who has since died. The questioning focuses on why the payment proof was sent and how it relates to the wider allegations under review at the Madlanga Commission.
The report says Matlala is being grilled during testimony as part of efforts to trace communications and documents tied to the payment. The dispute centers on the purpose and timing of sending the proof rather than on the existence of the payment alone. Other outlets covering the same proceedings typically frame the issue around accountability for intermediaries and the chain of custody of evidence used by investigators and witnesses.
Overall, the hearing places emphasis on administrative steps and documentation in the alleged transaction involving Maumela and the late taxi boss, with Matlala’s explanation expected to clarify her role and intent.
