Vusimuzi “Cat” Matlala, an alleged tender kingpin, provided testimony to the Madlanga Commission detailing his relationship with former Hawks boss Lesetja Senona. Matlala stated that the two first met at Senona’s wedding in Soshanguve in 2019 and grew closer two years later at a funeral for late taxi boss Jotham “King Mswazi” Msibi. It was during this funeral in 2021 that Matlala learned Senona was a general.
