Now SA's most dangerous criminal: Why Cat Matlala was secretly transferred to KZN max prison

Описание: In a shocking turn of events, Vusimuzi "Cat" Matlala, a notorious figure linked to organized crime and political influence, has been secretly transferred to the eBongweni Correctional Centre in Kokstad, KwaZulu-Natal (KZN), South Africa. This super-max prison, known as the world's biggest, is now under the jurisdiction of General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi, raising questions about the motives behind this clandestine operation. Was this a standard procedure, as claimed by Department of Correctional Services (DCS) spokesperson Singabakho Nxumalo, or is there more to this story?

This documentary dives deep into the circumstances surrounding Matlala's transfer on December 21, 2025, exploring the complex web of corruption, attempted murder, and political intrigue that led to this moment. We examine the charges against Vusimuzi Matlala, including his alleged involvement in the attempted murder of actress and socialite Tebogo Thobejane on the N1 highway near Sandton, Johannesburg. The attack, which left Thobejane wounded and her friend severely injured, highlights the ruthless nature of Matlala's alleged criminal activities.

But Matlala's influence extends far beyond individual acts of criminality. He stands accused of bribing senior police and government officials, creating a network of protection that allowed him to operate with impunity. The discovery of a cellphone in his prison cell in July 2025, orchestrated by National Commissioner of Correctional Services Makgothi Samuel Thobakgale, proved to be the catalyst for his transfer. The phone contained damning evidence, including screenshots of Lieutenant General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi's explosive press conference and contact information for Warrant Officer Faneni Zungu of the Hawks unit, saved under the name "Operator."

General Mkhwanazi's press briefing, where he accused Police Minister Senzo Mchunu and ANC-linked associate Brown Mogotsi of corruption and collusion with criminals, sent shockwaves through South Africa. He revealed a R360 million irregular SAPS healthcare tender awarded to Matlala's company, later cancelled by National Commissioner General Fannie Masemola. President Cyril Ramaphosa placed Mchunu on leave, and the Madlanga Commission and a Parliamentary Ad-Hoc Committee were established to investigate Mkhwanazi's claims.

This breaking news story explores the implications of Matlala's relocation to eBongweni, a fortress designed to isolate even the most hardened criminals. Will this move sever his connections to the outside world, or will he find a way to continue his operations from behind bars? What does this mean for the ongoing fight against corruption in South Africa? We analyze the relationship between National Commissioner Thobakgale and General Mkhwanazi, two men who have joined forces to combat corruption within the system. Their alliance was the enabling factor that made Matlala's transfer to KZN possible.
