Senona spills on Mkhwanazi’s meeting with ‘Cat’ Matlala

The Madlanga Commission’s work deepens this week with KwaZulu-Natal Hawks boss, Lesetja Senona, coming clean on his and his son Thato’s proximity to The Cat – Vusimusi Matlala. Senona admits he sent the controversial tender don Bheki Cele’s contact details, and even the contentious Political Killings Task Team disbandment letter. But any insinuation, Senona claims, that there’s a corrupt business relationship between him, his son, and The Cat, is beyond the pale. Legal journo Karyn Maughan also dishes the details of Senona’s claims that outspoken KZN Police Commissioner, Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi, tried to strike a shadowy deal with Matlala. Later, in our trending topic, Jozi’s Ferndale residents are learning that brothels are difficult to shut down. Finally, SA gunned for Europe in World War 2, with On This Day in SA History.
