Alleged crime boss and businessman. His companies Black AK Trading and Cor Kabeng Trading allegedly received Tembisa Hospital contracts that whistleblower Babita Deokaran flagged before her 2021 murder. His company Medicare24 was reportedly awarded a roughly R360 million SAPS healthcare tender — allegedly through corruption involving senior police officers and businessman Suliman Carrim, who denies acting as a fixer. WhatsApp traffic reported in 2026 allegedly connects Matlala to knowledge of Deokaran before her assassination. Multiple investigations are ongoing; he denies wrongdoing.
