Yesterday, Vusimuzi Cat Matlala's testimony was also nearly delayed after his lead counsel, Annalise van den Heever, fell ill. Matlala threatened legal action if the commission proceeded without her, but the commission ruled that his cross-examination should continue. Matlala has also challenged KwaZulu-Natal Police Commissioner Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi to release a recording of their April 2025 meeting, while refusing to answer questions about alleged impala deliveries, citing his right against self-incrimination.
