KwaZulu-Natal Hawks head Major-General Lesetja Senona has admitted to leaking sensitive personal details of police investigators to alleged underworld figure Vusimuzi “Cat” Matlala, triggering sharp rebukes from commissioners at the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry. The admission — involving names, ID numbers and contact details of members of the Political Killing Task Team (PKTT) — placed investigator safety at the centre of a growing credibility crisis inside the South African Police Service (SAPS). Commissioners noted that Matlala’s name has featured extensively in national media and has also arisen in evidence previously presented to the Madlanga Commission. BREAKING: The commission hears how General Senona leaked contact details and ID numbers of members of the PKTT to Cat Matlala. The message related to an alleged meeting involving Mkhwanazi and Matlala and has already featured in earlier explosive testimony before the commission.
