Matlala retracts payments admission to ex-police deputy Sibiya at commission

At the Madlanga Commission, alleged crime kingpin Vusimuzi 'Cat' Matlala now claims his earlier admissions of payments to former deputy national police commissioner Shadrack Sibiya were fabricated by investigators and signed under duress. This reversal challenges the credibility of prior testimony and raises questions about the integrity of the investigation. The commission must weigh the retraction against the original admissions, with implications for police corruption accountability in South Africa.
