🇿🇦Shibiri Falls—SAPS Suspends 9 Officials Linked to Cat Matlala Tender
The South African Police Service (SAPS) has suspended nine officials who served on the Bid Evaluation Committee responsible for recommending and finalising the R360 million Medicare24 ‘irregular’ tender linked to Vusimuzi "Cat" Matlala.
This follows the dismissal of Major General Richard Shibiri, the former SAPS National Component Head for Organised Crime.
Shibiri was fired for among others, financial misconduct, bringing the SAPS name into disrepute, and his personal associations with Matlala.
The suspended officials may include:
Major General Busisiwe Precious Temba, Brigadier Rachel Matjeng, Brigadier Alpheus Thembinkosi Ngema, Brigadier Patrick Nethengwe, Brigadier Kirsty Jonker, Brigadier Onica Ofentse Tlhoale, Colonel Nonjabulo Nomfundo Mngadi, Colonel Natsenge Johannes Monyai and Captain Brian Neville Catwright.
