High Court rules Kekana’s affidavits are admissible in Matlala trial
Cat Matlala and four are facing charges of attempted murder and conspiracy to commit murder.
The High Court in Johannesburg has recently ruled that the affidavits submitted by Musa Kekana, one of the accused in the trial of alleged criminal kingpin Vusimuzi 'Cat' Matlala, are admissible as evidence. Kekana submitted these affidavits during his bail application in the case, which is connected to the murder of engineer Armand Swart in April 2024.
The case involves Matlala and four others accused of orchestrating assassination attempts on Matlala's former girlfriend, Tebogo Thobejane, businessman Joe Sibanyoni, and music producer Seunkie Mokubung, also known as DJ Vettys, between August 2022 and January 2024. Judge Cassim Moosa stated during his ruling that the record of Kekana's bail proceedings in case RC 3/39/20024, held at the regional court in Vereeniging, is now admitted into evidence for the trial.
