Police Minister Senzo Mchunu flat out denies ever meeting Vusi Matlala. The man everyone calls Cat apparently scored a massive R360 million health contract last year. KwaZulu-Natal Police Commissioner Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi tells a different story about their relationship. He claims Matlala had special access to the minister and tried to shut down the political killings task team. Mchunu says he has never laid eyes on the businessman.
The minister also keeps his distance from another controversial figure named Oupa Mogotsi. People know Mogotsi as Brown around the streets. Mchunu told Parliament members that he knows Brown as a political comrade but nothing more. He stressed that he has no business ties with the man. The police commissioner paints a much darker picture of Mogotsi.
Mkhwanazi describes Brown as a suspected crime boss who interferes with police work. The commissioner suggests these two men have been pulling strings behind the scenes. Both Matlala and Mogotsi seem to have connections that reach high places. Mchunu appears determined to cut any links between himself and these figures. The minister faces tough questions about his knowledge of their activities.
