Witness I testifying off camera at the Madlanga Commission has revealed a previously undisclosed two-year stay at a property linked to alleged underworld kingpin Vusimuzi 'Cat' Matlala, saying it followed a violent attack he suffered in which he was injured and his state firearm stolen. He maintains he had no direct dealings with Matlala, insisting the arrangement was facilitated through Captain Zungu. Witness I is back today at the commission to continue his testimony relating to the Aeroton drug bust in the south of Johannesburg. The drug bust took place in Aeroton in 2021, where more than 700 kilograms of drugs were seized.
