The credibility of KwaZulu-Natal Hawks head Lesetja Senona has come under scrutiny following revelations that he previously shared sensitive police documents with alleged underworld figure Vusimuzi “Cat” Matlala.

Senona publicly alleged on Sunday that provincial officers escorted him from his office and confiscated his electronic devices on Saturday, raising concerns about his personal safety.
He has denied knowingly sharing sensitive information with Matlala, insisting that any transmission of documents was not done with improper intent.
The disclosure has cast a shadow over Senona’s conduct this weekend at KwaZulu-Natal provincial police headquarters in Durban, where the “unusual events” relating to his behaviour, according to police, triggered enforcement of standard security protocols at the building.
