Vusimuzi “Cat” Matlala’s appearance before the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry has been postponed to 1 September 2026. Commission chairperson, retired Justice Mbuyiseli Madlanga, granted the application after Matlala’s legal team argued that testifying now could infringe on his constitutional right against self-incrimination.
Matlala’s lawyers relied on Section 35 of the Constitution, citing his rights as an accused person ahead of his upcoming attempted murder trial involving his former girlfriend. Madlanga had earlier questioned why the commission could not proceed with evidence that would not affect those rights.
