In testimony connected to the Madlanga Commission, Julius Mkhwanazi says he wanted “Cat” Matlala registered as part of a “peace corps” initiative in Ekurhuleni. Mkhwanazi describes Matlala as one of the individuals considered for the proposed peace officer programme, which he says was intended to support the Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Police Department (EMPD). According to the account, the initiative would help the EMPD manage traffic congestion, carry out school safety operations, and assist with security and crowd management at major public events. The reporting frames the discussion as part of the commission’s examination of how individuals were approached or selected for such roles and what the intended purpose of the programme was. Across the available excerpts, the common elements are the request to register Matlala under a “peace corps” or peace officer category, and the stated operational aims of reducing congestion and bolstering safety at schools and public gatherings. The details provided here focus on Mkhwanazi’s stated intent and the programme’s goals rather than any further actions taken or outcomes.
