Alleged hitman Musa Kekana’s cross-examination expected to continue
Kekana, Vusimuzi Matlala and co-accused face charges of orchestrating three failed assassinations.
Alleged hitman Musa Kekana is set to continue his cross-examination on Thursday in the trial-within-a-trial concerning Vusimuzi 'Cat' Matlala and four co-accused at the High Court in Johannesburg. Matlala and his co-accused are facing accusations of plotting three unsuccessful assassination attempts against his ex-girlfriend Tebogo Thobejane, businessman Joe Sibanyoni, and music producer Seunkie Mokubung, also known as DJ Vettys. These alleged assassination attempts occurred between August 2022 and January 2024.
During Wednesday's proceedings, state prosecutor Elize Le Roux interrogated Kekana regarding the timeline of events surrounding his arrest in April 2024. When questioned about a Hyundai i20 allegedly spotted near the scene of Armand Swart's murder, Kekana claimed that a police officer planted the vehicle's keys on him. Additionally, Kekana denied allegations that police discovered an assault rifle within the vehicle on his property.
