Former Police Minister Bheki Cele, during his testimony before Parliament's Ad Hoc Committee on October 23, 2025, detailed a meeting he had with controversial businessman Vusimuzi "Cat" Matlala (allegedly linked to organized crime syndicates). Cele stated that Matlala approached him via an intermediary (a man named Bongani) and confided that Lt Gen Shadrack Sibiya (former Gauteng Hawks head, often referred to as General Sibiya) had instructed him to draft a false affidavit. This affidavit was meant to accuse Crime Intelligence boss Lt Gen Dumisani Khumalo (whom Cele described as a key figure he would "protect" alongside KZN Police Commissioner Lt Gen Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi) of stealing luxury items, including Rolex watches and jewelry, during a December 2024 raid on Matlala's home by Khumalo's team.

According to Cele, Matlala claimed Sibiya wanted this fabricated statement added to an ongoing case against Khumalo's unit, with the goal of getting Khumalo arrested or removed from his position—essentially "out of the way" to disrupt investigations into syndicates or related matters. Matlala reportedly resisted because he feared jeopardizing his R360 million SAPS tender (for medical services via his company, Medicare 24), which was under review at the time. Cele said he advised Matlala to brief Khumalo directly about the conspiracy, though that meeting never happened, and Matlala eventually lost the tender after an audit. Cele emphasized that he met Matlala (whom he knew "very well") to gather information on broader allegations involving suspended Police Minister Senzo Mchunu and others, but denied any involvement in awarding Matlala's contract or knowing about his alleged criminal ties at the time.

This revelation ties into the committee's probe of Mkhwanazi's claims about political interference and syndicate protection in SAPS. Cele's account portrays Sibiya as orchestrating the plot via Matlala to target Khumalo, who was leading sensitive crime intelligence ops. The hearings are ongoing, with more questioning expected.
