Thobejane slams praise for ex Vusimuzi ‘Cat’ Matlala: ‘PR can’t erase real crimes’
Cape Argus
|December 05, 2025
SOUTH African actress Tebogo Thobejane has broken her silence after seeing her former boyfriend, Vusimuzi “Cat” Matlala, grab attention online during his recent appearance before Parliament's Ad Hoc Committee.
While Matlala sits behind bars at Kgosi Mampuru II Correctional Centre awaiting trial, the public seemed more focused on his style and looks than the serious allegations against him.
Matlala is charged with attempted murder, conspiracy to commit murder and money laundering, which he denies.
Thobejane and Matlala were once a high-profile couple, but their relationship ended amid serious trust and safety concerns.
In October 2023, Thobejane was shot in the foot during a car ambush that left a friend paralysed.
