Bheki Cele under scrutiny following calls to arrest Vusimusi “Cat” Matlala

# Former Police minister Bheki Cele faces renewed scrutiny after reports revealed he made ten unanswered calls to tender tycoon Vusimusi ‘Cat’ Matlala days before his arrest. According to News24, Cele dismissed questions, stating he was not a schoolboy. Matlala, facing fraud and corruption charges over a cancelled 360-million-rand SAPS contract, had previously hosted Cele at his luxury Pretoria penthouse. Analysts say the calls raise suspicion of political ties, increasing pressure on Cele as he heads to the ANC Integrity Commission.
