Also co-ordinates payments from SAPS to the Medicare24 Tshwane District company owned by Matlala which unlawfully procured a contract from SAPS worth R360m.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Screenshot four: \u201cUnsuccessful attempt to prevent SAPS from cancelling its contract with Medicare24 Tshwane District. In pursuit of these goals, Mogotsi in a mistaken belief that an investigation into Matlala was conducted by the PKTT (political killings task team). It was actually conducted by the Gauteng counterintelligence operations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMogotsi has pursued the disestablishment of the PKTT, a mistaken identity. He has specifically sought to find means of having me subjected to a criminal and or disciplinary proceedings, including a somewhat comical attempt to rely on a December 2024 Constitutional Court judgment to have me disciplined for the conduct of a different Brig Khumalo who was involved in that case. Mogotsi purports to have been operating in this regard with the support of the police minister and chief of staff in the minister\u2019s office Nkabinde and deputy national commissioner Gen Shadrack Sibiya,\u201d Khumalo said.<\/p>\n<p>Screenshot five: \u201cSenona pursues similar objectives with Mogotsi and leaks confidential SAPS documents to Matlala. Senona\u2019s association with Matlala appears to be linked to a commercial venture between Matlala and Thato Senona, his son.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKarim and Rafadi appear to be paid by Matlala for their access to senior SAPS members and their ability to advance same goals as those pursued by Mogotsi and leak sensitive SAPS documents to Matlala. Matlala has a relationship with Mkhwanazi which involves the abuse of EMPD for the benefit of Matlala,\u201d Khumalo said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">South-Africa<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; South-Africa.
