However, as a condition, the KZN police boss allegedly wanted Matlala to convince an individual who was allegedly tortured to withdraw a case he had opened against Mkhwanazi. This case was opened with the Independent Investigative Police Directorate IPID, he claimed.
He said I must tell the guy that he must drop the charges against him and also add that the people who convinced him to lay charges against him is Minister Mchunu and Lt-Gen Sibiya, Matlala alleged.
