Commission hears 'Cat' no stranger to Mchunu

It seems businessman Vusimuzi “Cat” Matlala is no stranger to suspended police minister Senzo Mchunu, as Witness C told a different story at the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry yesterday.

Mchunu last week told parliament's ad hoc committee Matlala was a stranger to him and that he had never met the man.

He also denied allegations that Matlala funded his ANC presidential campaign.

Matlala was arrested in May and while police were after him for the alleged attempted murder of his former lover, Tebogo Thobejane, the tenderpreneur was willing to offer more information.

Witness C said Matlala was followed and arrested in Midrand after his car hit a pothole and suffered a puncture.
