Six months after Vusimusi Cat Matlala secured a R350m SAPS tender, he allegedly sent R38,000 to his girlfriend, who is tasked with overseeing the implementation of the same tender he had just scored.
A month later, in February, he charmed her with an even bigger amount of R100,000. In the following two months, March and April, he dazzled her with two deposits of R100,000.
All these transactions allegedly happened in 2025 when the couple allegedly rekindled their romance. The total amount was even larger than the R113,000 that Matlala paid to Brig Rachel Matjeng in girlfriend allowances between 2019 and 2021.
