Initially, he claimed to have paid Cele R500k, but now asserts the first payment was only R200k. He also revealed that he only spoke to Cele directly after intermediary Mabonga's death in February/March 2025, raising questions about Mabonga's role. Matlala denied that Cele had demanded R1 million, stating instead that Cele wanted money to return firearms.
