Kekana claims police forced entry into his home when he was arrested

Musa Kekana, the primary defendant in the attempted murder trial against Vusimuzi "Cat" Matlala and four others, claims that police forcefully entered his residence without his consent on the day of his arrest for the alleged murder of engineer Armand Swart in 2024. Kekana is currently under cross-examination by state prosecutor Elize Le Roux in a trial within a trial at the High Court in Johannesburg.

He is attempting to have the evidence against him deemed inadmissible in court due to the alleged police misconduct on the day of his arrest. According to Kekana, "Sekhubela immediately sent because they want to enter the premises and you don’t have the key with you, so he immediately sent for a vehicle. Like I explained when Sekhubela said I must open and I said I didn’t have the keys he then instructed a police officer to go fetch the keys and instructed another police officer to manually open the gate."
