November marks three years since launching my book, ‘Buy Your First Home: South Africa’s Ultimate Property Guide for Newbies’, a book I wish existed when I bought my first few properties.
If you’re a first-time home buyer, this book is for you! A must-have! 🏡

What happened at the Madlanga Commission today, 11 November:
1. The Bheki Cele bombshell
Matlala alleged former Police Minister Bheki Cele got R700,000 cash from him in a Woolworths bag at his penthouse in Menlyn Maine in January 2025. He said he withdrew R500k on 9 Jan and R200k the next day.
He also said Cele later got another R300,000 at the Beverly Hills Hotel in Durban in March 2025, as part of a R1 million agreement to help save his Medicare24 SAPS contract.
And Cele allegedly wanted him to buy a R6 million retirement home in Trafalgar, KZN, plus money to repair his and his wife's cars. Matlala said he ignored those calls.
2. The Sibiya R550k saga continued
He finally admitted the full amount: R500,000 for Sibiya's child's wedding + R50,000 for travel to the SAPS Excellence Awards in Durban. Total R550,000.
But his story keeps changing. On Monday he said it was only R50k. On Tuesday he admitted R500k. And his own signed statement says the R500k was handed over in the basement of the State Theatre in Pretoria, while investigator notes say it was at Sibiya's home in Copperleaf.
He denied the R500k was for the R360 million SAPS health tender.
He also said Sibiya asked him to buy a plot in Midrand and he refused because the "extortion would not end."
3. The 20 Impalas
He finally admitted it. He told Parliament it was just "rumours", but today he conceded the 20 impalas WERE delivered to Sibiya. His excuse: Nkosi sent him the address, and he gave them to Nkosi to give away because they "were breeding."
4. Phahlane wanted "business"
Matlala claimed former acting commissioner Khomotso Phahlane also wanted to go into business with him and they met several times before his arrest. That's the clip eNCA posted.
5. Jerry Boshoga kidnapping - he denied it
He denied any involvement in the kidnapping/disappearance of businessman Jerry Boshoga. Witness C had said items at Matlala's house matched items in the ransom videos.
Matlala said he only knew Boshoga as a guest, and that he lent him R5 million for a drug-processing machine. He said Boshoga was in the drug trade, but gave no proof.
6. He kept asking for in-camera
Every time they asked WHY he would give a police general R500k for a wedding, he refused to answer in public, saying he fears for his and his family's safety. Justice Madlanga warned him that asking for a private session would itself become public.
In short: Today Cat went from "I don't remember" to naming Cele, Sibiya, Phahlane, and everyone else. The Commission called him obstructive and inconsistent, but he is now the one dropping the biggest names.

In Alexandra there’s a burnt-out overturned truck the N3 between Marlboro Drive and Modderfontein Road – the highway is closed off to traffic in the northerly direction – expect more than a 2 hour delay #JHBTraffic
