The Madlanga Commission is resuming with public hearings on Monday morning, with alleged crime cartel kingpin Vusimuzi “Cat” Matlala expected to take the stand.
Matlala, implicated in a controversial multi-million-rand South African Police Service (SAPS) tender, is expected to testify on Monday and Tuesday.
His return to the Commission comes amid a fresh legal dispute following the collapse of his plea and sentence agreement in a separate criminal case.
In a directive issued on Saturday, Commission Chairperson retired Justice Mbuyiseli Madlanga ordered evidence leaders and Matlala’s legal team to submit written arguments on Section 105A subsection 10 of the Criminal Procedure Act (CPA).
The provision deals with the legal implications when a plea and sentence agreement falls away.
