It's quite evident that the attempted murder- and tender fraud-accused Vusimusi “Cat” Matlala relied on several allegedly crooked cops to seal a tainted R360 million police health services tender. The question now, though, is: Who, from the Medicare24 stable of companies, backed the notorious figure in his bids? In other words, our multi-award-winning journalist and author, Jeff Wicks, asks: Who exactly is Mike van Wyk? Later in our trending topic segment, a pensioner appears in court for the Bellville South house of horrors murder. Finally, the United Nations started taking stronger action against apartheid SA, with On This Day in SA History.
