Yes, convicted criminal kingpin Vusimuzi "Cat" Matlala made several explosive claims implicating KwaZulu-Natal Police Commissioner Lieutenant-General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi during his November 2025 testimony before the Parliamentary Ad Hoc Committee at the Kgoši Mampuru Correctional Centre.
Matlala—who recently pleaded guilty in June 2026 to fraud, corruption, and money laundering related to a R228 million SAPS Medicare tender—made the following specific allegations against Mkhwanazi:
Key Allegations Made by Matlala
The Undisclosed Meeting: Matlala testified that Mkhwanazi initiated an undisclosed personal meeting with him in Durban. He claimed Mkhwanazi sought information regarding the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).
Coercion to Drop Charges: He alleged that Mkhwanazi asked him to influence certain individuals to withdraw criminal charges against him. He claimed Mkhwanazi wanted him to state he was forced to open those charges by former Police Minister Bheki Cele and other top officials.
Physical Threats: Matlala claimed that during their interactions, Mkhwanazi made a veiled threat to "take him out" if he ever crossed him.
Political Warfare Context: Matlala framed their interaction as being caught in the middle of a "Zulu war". He alleged that General Mkhwanazi and Bheki Cele were on a mission of vengeance against newly appointed Police Minister Senzo Mchunu and suspended Deputy National Commissioner Shadrack Sibiya.
General Mkhwanazi's Response
Testifying in response before the Parliamentary Ad Hoc Committee and the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry, General Mkhwanazi strongly denied any wrongdoing and offered a completely different justification for their encounter:
Informer Commitment: Mkhwanazi confirmed the meeting took place but explained he initially hid it because Matlala was acting as a police informer. He stated he did not want to compromise active investigations into people Matlala spoke about.
Smear Campaign: Mkhwanazi testified that Matlala was being used by powerful political and criminal syndicates to discredit him. This was allegedly in retaliation for Mkhwanazi exposing how Matlala’s "Big Five" cartel had deeply infiltrated the South African Police Service (SAPS) and funded political figures

Keeping your partner happy is less about grand gestures and more about consistent, small acts of appreciation, clear communication, and emotional safety. It is about making them feel heard, valued, and chosen every single day.
Communicate Openly and Directly
Avoid mind-reading: Tell your partner exactly what you need rather than expecting them to guess.
Active listening: Put down your phone when they speak. Let them know they are in a safe, judgment-free space to share their feelings.
Speak up early: Address frustrations while they are small rather than letting resentment build.
Cultivate Small, Daily Habits
Micro-moments: The way you say goodbye in the morning and greet each other at the end of the day sets the tone for your connection.
Show daily gratitude: Thank them for the little, ordinary things they do, not just the massive favors.
Specific compliments: Point out things you love about their character (e.g., "I love how you laugh at this joke" or "I admire how you show up for your friends") rather than just complimenting their appearance.
Prioritize Quality Time and Novelty
Unplugged time: Dedicate face-to-face time where work and chores are put aside.
Create shared experiences: Try new hobbies or plan adventurous dates to break routine and recreate the feeling of falling in love.
Nurture Intimacy and Affection
Physical touch: Hugs, hand-holding, and cuddles release oxytocin, which naturally deepens your feelings of attachment.
Tease playfully: Keep things lighthearted. Playful banter and sharing funny experiences help you remember why you chose each other.
Maintain Your Own Independence
Individual identities: No one person can meet all of your needs. Keep outside friendships, hobbies, and interests alive to avoid putting unhealthy pressure on the relationship
