Public hearings of the Madlanga Commission restarted on Monday in the capital. The sessions are being held in Pretoria. Vusimuzi “Cat” Matlala has been scheduled to give testimony. His appearance comes amid a dispute concerning evidence tied to a collapsed plea‑and‑sentence deal. Lawyers for the commission argue that the contested material is essential for the inquiry. Critics claim the evidence may have been improperly obtained, sparking the legal battle.
