Attempted murder case against Cat Matlala and four others postponed

The case has been postponed to the 2nd of November at the High Court in Johannesburg.

The trial of Vusimuzi "Cat" Matlala and four others accused of attempting to murder his ex-girlfriend Tebogo Thobejane, businessman Joe Sibanyoni and music producer Seunkie Mokubung, also known as DJ Vettys, has been delayed. The case will resume on November 2nd at the High Court in Johannesburg. Matlala is charged with orchestrating three unsuccessful assassination attempts against his former love interest, Sibanyoni, and DJ Vettys.

These alleged attacks took place between August 2022 and January 2024. Judge Cassim Moosa decided to postpone the hearing due to a consensus among the defendants' legal teams and the prosecution. This decision was influenced by the fact that Professor Saayman, a key witness, would not be available for testimony until the end of October.

The trial is set to take place at the High Court of Gauteng, Division, in Johannesburg, specifically at courtroom 4F.
