New state witness expected to testify in ‘Cat’ Matlala trial
New state witness is set to take the stand in the trial of Cat Matlala and four others on Monday
The Johannesburg High Court is set to welcome a new state witness on Monday as the trial of Vusimuzi "Cat" Matlala and four co-accused continues. Matlala and his co-accused face charges of attempted murder, conspiracy to commit murder, and money laundering in connection with failed assassination attempts on socialite Tebogo Thobejane, businessman Joe Sibanyoni, and music producer Seunkie Mokubung.
The trial has been ongoing as a trial-within-a-trial due to disputes over evidence. The court heard that a police officer, who was recently shot in the line of duty and is recovering from surgery, will testify. State prosecutor Adv Elize Le Roux is confident that the state's case will be concluded this week.
