Tenderpreneur and criminally accused Vusimuzi Cat Matlala has denied that he was a member of a drug cartel but said his close friend Jerry Boshoga, who was kidnapped a year ago, was dealing in drugs.
On Thursday, Matlala told the ad hoc committee, which is investigating allegations of criminality, political interference, and corruption in the criminal justice system, that when Boshoga was kidnapped, he received a phone call from his Boshogas brother.
Matlala said the brother told him that Boshoga told him he was going to fetch a 20l drum and some stuff that he used to manufacture his narcotics.
