Tebogo Thobejane Shades Her Ex Cat Matlala Over R500k Woolies Bag “Does She Know Something, We Don’t”

South Africa is living for this drama! Former Muvhango actress Tebogo Thobejane has thrown major shade at her ex-boyfriend, alleged cartel member Vusimuzi “Cat” Matlala, after his eyebrow-raising testimony in Parliament. And social media? Absolutely losing it.

Matlala appeared before the ad hoc committee on Thursday, 27 November 2025, giving testimony from Kgosi Mampuru II Correctional Centre, where he’s awaiting court appearances for allegedly plotting to assassinate Tebogo herself. Yes… things just got real.

But it wasn’t the assassination plot that got Mzansi tweeting — it was the infamous R500,000 Woolies bag claim.

The Woolies Bag Bombshell

During his second appearance, Matlala claimed he handed former Police Minister Bheki Cele a whopping R500,000 in a Woolworths bag. He allegedly delivered the cash in two batches: R300,000 and R200,000. And he explained:

“I always operate with a Woolies bag. That’s the money bag.”

He even dropped another shocker: Cele allegedly wanted a house in Trafalgar, KwaZulu-Natal for a secret son in engineering. The story instantly went viral, sparking memes, jokes, and disbelief across social media.

Tebogo Thobejane’s Subtle (and Hilarious) Shade

Enter Tebogo Thobejane, with a subtle claps back. She posted a picture of a Woolies bag on her Instagram Stories with no caption… and then deleted it. Perfect timing. Perfect shade.

But here’s the question Mzansi is asking: Does Tebogo know something we don’t?

After all, she and Matlala share a history. In recent interviews, she opened up about their early relationship, describing him as “charming, generous, attentive” — the version of a man women are taught to trust.

She never suspected his alleged Big Five Cartel connections at the time.

“Cat and I always hung around his house,” she revealed.

Her cryptic Woolies post has fans speculating wildly: is this just shade, or is she subtly hinting at insider knowledge about Matlala’s antics?

Social media users are eating it up:

• “Sis, do you know something we don’t? This shade is giving insider energy!”
• “The Woolies bag is now iconic.”
• “Cat thought he could play us… Tebogo is quietly schooling him.”

Whether she’s just being playful or dropping hints, one thing is clear: Tebogo Thobejane is winning the social media game. And Mzansi can’t get enough.
