The committee has expressed willingness to visit Kgosi Mampuru from 26 to 28 November to hear his testimony directly from the prison.

Matlala, currently awaiting trial, faces multiple charges, including conspiracy to commit murder, and his involvement in the investigation follows his implication in testimonies including the Madlanga Commission, by prominent police officials.

KwaZulu-Natal Police Commissioner Lieutenant General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi in July accused Matlala, suspended police minister Senzo Mchunu, and senior police officials of criminal infiltration, corruption, and political interference.
