Overview
- Under cross‑examination, Shadrack Sibiya conceded he WhatsApped a confidential SAPS audit on Matlala’s Medicare24 deal to Sergeant Fannie Nkosi and accepted the probability it would reach Matlala before the R300‑million contract was terminated.
- Commissioners pressed Sibiya after a watermark showed the document was marked confidential, undermining his claim it was already public and prompting an apology for mischaracterising its status.
- WhatsApp messages showed Sibiya told Nkosi to ask Matlala to “make a turn” at his son’s September 2024 engagement, undercutting Sibiya’s insistence they were not close and drawing questions about conflicts of interest.
- Sibiya denied receiving impalas or cash from Matlala, rejected claims he enabled access to the SAPS training college, and maintained a recording of Matlala confessing to gifting 20 impalas was AI‑generated.
- Parliament’s ad hoc committee heard fresh, untested allegations from Brown Mogotsi, who said KZN commissioner Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi met Matlala and raised further claims now feeding into the broader oversight probes.
