Matlala trial: State witness pours cold water on Musa Kekana’s claims
This is despite Kekana earlier saying that he was transported in the boot of a Toyota Fortuner.
A state witness in the trial against Vusimuzi 'Cat' Matlala and four others has revealed that accused Musa Kekana was transported from the arrest scene to his home in a Golf 7 police vehicle, contradicting Kekana's earlier claim of being placed in the boot of a Toyota Fortuner. Warrant Officer Johannes Phiri, testifying in the trial within a trial, was questioned by state prosecutor Elize Le Roux.
Le Roux asked if any suspects accompanied Phiri, to which Phiri responded affirmatively, stating that Musa was among them. When asked about Kekana's seating position, Phiri could not recall whether he was on the left or right side of the Golf 7 vehicle, which belonged to Captain Sekhobela.
