This Hawks boss from KwaZulu-Natal has to show up and answer questions about allegedly helping some businessman score a massive police contract worth hundreds of millions. The commission wants to know if Major General Lesetja Senona pulled strings to get Vusimusi Matlala that deal, which got cancelled after people figured out it was sketchy. Leaked messages show the two of them chatting about tenders and personal stuff, plus there are property transactions between Matlala and Senona's kid that look suspicious.
The inquiry also called out the former top Hawks guy to explain why he sent officers to check on a raid that almost turned into a shootout between different police units. Lieutenant General Godfrey Lebeya apparently got a tip about fake cops and deployed teams without asking questions, which nearly wrecked an arrest operation. The whole investigation is looking at whether crime syndicates have wormed their way into the police force with help from people inside.
