JOHANNESBURG - Alleged crime boss, Vusimuzi 'Cat' Matlala, denies he had anything to do with the kidnapping and disappearance of his close friend and businessman, Jerry Boshoga.
Boshoga was abducted in Pretoria a year ago after attending a business meeting.
Disturbing videos of Boshoga circulated online showing him being tortured and begging his family to pay a ransom.

Matlala told Parliament’s Ad Hoc Committee investigating claims of corruption and political interference in the SAPS that he has no idea of Boshoga's whereabouts.
The Political Killings Task Team raided Matlala's Pretoria home in December last year as part of an investigation into the kidnapping of Boshoga.
He claims that his phones were manipulated shortly after his arrest.
