The legal representative of Vusimuzi “Cat” Matlala, has raised concerns over references to information allegedly discussed during an off-the-record meeting, involving Madlanga Commission investigator Mr Dlamini.
The Commission continues to probe Matlala’s Section 204 statement.
The section allows a witness who may be implicated in an offence, to receive indemnity from prosecution in exchange for giving evidence.
Advocate Anneline van den Heever claims that evidence leaders and attorneys had allegedly agreed that the meeting was privileged and that its contents could not be disclosed.

She says she will object to any further references to the matter and may file additional submissions on the issue.
“I want to place on record that my client should never have been confronted with what happened off the record. What was agreed by this commission’s evidence leaders was an off-the-record discussion. Under no circumstances do we do that because this is what distinguishes us from other people out there.”
