Matlala trial to hear evidence from key witness Musa Kekana

The Matlala trial is set to resume at the South Gauteng High Court in Johannesburg, with key testimony from Musa Kekana, a crucial witness for the defence. Kekana is accused of orchestrating three failed assassination attempts on Matlala's former girlfriend, Tebogo Thobejane, businessman Joe Sibanyoni, and DJ Vettys. The trial, which spans three accused individuals, is set to focus on the events surrounding the 2024 murder of Armand Swart.

Kekana's testimony is expected to shed light on the sequence of events leading to Swart's death, as the state had previously wrapped up its case in the ongoing trial within a trial.
