Witness C has told the Madlanga Commission how alleged cartel criminal syndicate member Vusimuzi Cat Matlala dropped the names of prominent police officers he is close with when police descended at his home in December 2024.
They included the names of Deputy National Police Commissioner Shadrack Sibiya, Counter-intelligence Head Feroz Khan, Organised crime Head Richard Shibiri and KwaZulu-Natal Hawks boss Lesetja Senona.
Witness C says he suspects this was a way of Matlala trying to intimidate them when they conducted a search and seizure operation at his home. He further adds that Matlala also dropped the name of Police Minister Senzo Mchunu to the list of officers he knows.
