Mr Vusimuzi Matlala

The affidavit alleges that the procurement processes for a tender to Medicare Tshwane 24 may have been flouted or manipulated to the undue advantage of Medicare and its sole director Vusimuzi Matlala, with possible corruption and money laundering causing prejudice of approximately 50 million to SAPS.

“I reasonably suspect that procurement processes may have been flouted or manipulated to the undue advantage of Medicare. I also suspect that corruption and money laundering may also have been perpetrated to the prejudice. ... I have advised the National Commissioner, General Masemola of the SAPS that he should consider terminating the contract... General Masemola ultimately terminated the contract with Medicare on or about the 15th of May 2025. By that time, SAPS had suffered prejudice of approximately 50 million.”

The referral affidavit (section 27) was filed after the procurement contract termination and expresses suspicion that the award to Mr Matlala was unlawful and that certain members of SAPS unlawfully assisted and favoured him during the procurement process.

“The referral affidavit is filed after the contract was terminated. It alleges or at least expresses suspicions that it was unlawfully awarded, that the beneficiary, Mr Matlala, has questionable ties to certain members of SAPS who unlawfully assisted and favoured him during the procurement process.”

The complaint alleges that nine IDAC officials conducted a prison interview with Sergeant FEN Kosi to obtain demanded information about connections between Vusimuzi Matlala, National Commissioner General Masemola, and Lieutenant General Khumalo as part of investigations into the Medicare 24 contract.

“upon or about the 3th of July 2026, a delegation comprising of nine IDAC officials visited our client in prison ... to conduct an interview with him in relation to ongoing investigations ... regarding ties between Vusimuzi Matlala, National Commissioner, General Masemola and Lieutenant General Khumalo”
