# Crime expert Calvin Rafadi has resigned as a research associate at the University of Johannesburg, following damning allegations presented before the Madlanga Commission. A protected witness, identified only as Witness X, testified that Rafadi allegedly solicited financial favours from attempted murder-accused businessman Vusimuzi “Cat” Matlala. According to the witness, Rafadi returned the favour by contributing to a media narrative that suited Matlala regarding the KwaZulu-Natal political killings task team. Rafadi has denied the allegations, saying he intends to provide the commission with his version of events.
