Sizwe Dhlomo bursts out laughing after Vusimuzi ‘Cat’ Matlala is busted with phone in prison
Media personality Sizwe Dhlomo has weighed in on the latest twist in the ongoing saga involving controversial tenderpreneur Vusimuzi “Cat” Matlala.
Matlala, who was arrested in May 2025 for his alleged role in the attempted hit on TV personality Tebogo Thobejane in October 2023, is once again making headlines.
This time, it’s not about contracts or criminal charges, but a phone, one he wasn’t supposed to have.
Reports from Correctional Services revealed that Matlala was recently caught with a cellphone while in custody.
The update was shared on X (formerly Twitter) by journalist Ziyanda Ngcobo via Newzroom Afrika.
In response, Dhlomo simply posted: “Lol!”
The brief but pointed comment triggered widespread speculation online, with many netizens wondering what secrets could be hidden in Matlala’s confiscated device.
With more details about the businessman’s alleged dealings slowly coming to light, his possession of a phone in prison has added fresh intrigue to an already murky case.
Matlala’s name first made waves when it surfaced during General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi’s controversial press briefing earlier this year, and since then, public interest in the case has only grown.
