# Alleged underworld kingpin Vusimuzi “Cat” Matlala has withdrawn from the plea and sentence agreement in connection with the 228‑million-rand Medicare24 health and wellness police tender. The Specialised Commercial Crime Court in Pretoria had rejected his proposed eight-year plea and sentence agreement earlier this month, in which he also committed to testifying as a state witness in collaboration with the Investigating Directorate Against Corruption. The court found the proposal to be unjust and recommended a 12-year prison term instead. Matlala’s case has been postponed to the 11th of September.
