Picture: Gallo Images The Gauteng High Court has ordered the immediate eviction of the company of alleged crime boss Vusimuzi “Cat” Matlala, Medicare24, from its upmarket Menlyn offices for unpaid rental arrears totalling more than R250 000. Judge Colleen Collis issued the ruling on Monday, ordering the sheriff to enforce the eviction with police assistance, if necessary.
The court also granted Menlyn Maine Towers a lien over Medicare24’s moveable property and ordered payment of the outstanding rental arrears with interest. Matlala had signed a five-year lease with Menlyn Maine Towers for Medicare24, which expires in August 2026. However, the property company cancelled the lease in July, two months after Matlala’s arrest for attempted murder in May.

It mandated the immediate ejectment of the respondent and all persons claiming occupation from the leased premises.
