The Madlanga Commission has heard explosive testimony from attempted murder accused Vusumuzi “Cat” Matlala that the Investigating Directorate Against Corruption (IDAC) officials wanted him to incriminate National Police Commissioner General Fannie Masemola in corruption allegations.
Matlala, who is scheduled to appear again before the Inquiry on Tuesday, says the Directorate was also investigating other high-ranking police officers and their family members.
Matlala said, “These investigators firstly told me that they were investigating Thema’s son, actually. So I think if you can check the subpoena, maybe they will show you because they told me that they were close to her son. They were saying that she influenced her son to get tenders. So now they wanted to actually incriminate General Masemola. If this thing, it goes further because there’s somewhere where they said, I don’t know whether it’s 204 or is the other one. But there’s somewhere where they’re saying General Masemola was using the hospital; he put his own doctors there for those trainees who were at the college. So they were going to that angle by using General Tema to get there. Okay, so that came from the investigators”
