JOHANNESBURG - Businessman Vusimuzi 'Cat' Matlala has been subpoenaed to appear before the Madlanga Commission.
He is set to appear on 7 July.
It is believe that Matlala agreed to appear at the Commission on the condition that he is not cross-examined on the Medicare24 contract.
Matlala says this is because that matter is the subject of a plea deal with the NPA.
Matlala has turned state witness and pleaded guilty to fraud, corruption and money laundering charges linked to a R228 million SAPS tender.
Matlala, his team and the state had agreed on a 15-year imprisonment, which would be suspended for seven years. He would, essentially serve eight years in prison.

Judge Ignatius du Preez at the Pretoria Specialised Commercial Crimes Court has rejected Vusimuzi 'Cat' Matlala's proposed sentence. He, instead, proposed a 12-year sentence.
The parties have to go back to the drawing board as they had not reached an agreement on the Judge's decision. The A decision has not yet been reached by the parties and the matter will return to court on 13 July.
