Attempted murder accused Vusimuzi Cat Matlala says the serious problems he had with his South African Police Service contract prompted his meeting with KwaZulu-Natal Police Commissioner Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi .
Matlala says the problems included payment delays, which forced him to inform the former Police Minister Bheki Cele.
According to Matlala, Cele then offered to arrange a meeting with Mkhwanazi, who he said had close ties with the person responsible for overseeing the contract.
