However, Commissioner Sandile Khumalo put it to Sergeant Nkosi that he knew what Matlala meant.
“You don’t know now, sitting here, but at the time, you knew exactly what he meant when he said tell our main guy that the police are at my house and they are beating my wife and kids. But obviously, he was referring to General Sibiya Commissioner. But why are you avoiding the issue? Why does he refer to General Sibiya as the main guy? Maybe the word our it sounds a bit. No, forget about us, I’m saying main guy, the main guy.”
The Madlanga Commission is the Judicial Commission of Inquiry into Criminality, Political Interference, and Corruption in the Criminal Justice System.
