Former Muvhango actress Tebogo Thobejane took a subtle jab at her former boyfriend, Vusimuzi “Cat” Matlala, following his testimony before the Parliament’s ad hoc committee on Thursday, 27 November 2025. Matlala made his second appearance before Parliament’s ad hoc committee at the Kgosi Mampuru II Correctional Centre, Pretoria, where he is being held while awaiting his next court appearance in a case in which he is accused of allegedly plotting the assassination of Tebogo Thobejane.
During his second appearance before legislators, Vusimuzi Matlala alleged that he gave former Police Minister Bheki Cele R500,000, contradicting Cele, who previously said he did not receive money from him.
Matlala claimed that he transported the money to Cele in two batches of R300,000 and R200,000 in a Woolworths bag. “I always operate with a Woolies bag. That’s the money bag,” Matlala said. Matlala also alleged that Bheki wanted a house in Trafalgar, KwaZulu-Natal for his son. Trafalgar is a seaside resort village located in the Ugu District Municipality. He said that Cele told him he had a secret son. The son is in engineering. Matlala’s claim sparked memes and hilarious remarks on social media, and Tebogo Thobejane joined in the fun. Taking to her Instagram stories, Tebogo Thobejane posted a picture of a Woolies bag, which she later deleted.
