The Medicare24 contract was cancelled last year following allegations of tender irregularities and corruption.
Matjeng says the cancellation of the contract meant that the South African Police Service (SAPS) would struggle with medical surveillance.
However, Commissioner Sesi Baloyi put it to her that she was sad for Matlala because he was her romantic partner.
“Brigadier, you would have been sad for your partner as well. That they are cancelling such a big contract because it means he’s no longer making that money. You cannot admit that. There’s no controversy about it. It’s not controversial. He’s your partner. And, you know, as you’ve told us, he was quite generous. We’ve seen here financially. But just from being your partner, I think that you can admit, surely. I think you agree with me. We’ll take it as an agreement.”
