The Madlanga Commission of Inquiry resumes on Friday morning at the Bridgette Mabandla Justice College in Pretoria, with a new witness expected to take the stand.

The Commission spent the first three days of this week hearing testimony from alleged crime kingpin, Vusimuzi “Cat” Matlala.

Matlala testified about his Section 204 statement, which detailed his alleged links to former Deputy National Police Commissioner Shadrack Sibiya.

Section 204 of the Criminal Procedure Act allows a witness who may have been involved in a crime to testify in exchange for immunity from prosecution, provided they answer questions truthfully.

Matlala’s statement revealed allegations that he paid Sibiya R50 000 and R500 000.

The Commission also heard testimony from the Acting Coordinator of the National Intelligence Coordinating Committee (NICOC), Dr Ntandazo Sifolo.

Sifolo told the inquiry that NICOC briefed President Cyril Ramaphosa days before General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi made his public allegations in July 2025.
