State continues grilling Kekana as Matlala trial resumes

The State is challenging the credibility of Musa Kekana during cross-examination in the Johannesburg High Court as part of the trial-within-a-trial in the Vusimuzi 'Cat' Matlala case.

State continues grilling Kekana as Matlala trial resumes

During an ongoing trial within a trial at the High Court in Johannesburg, the state has accused alleged hitman Musa Kekana of modifying his evidence in the attempted murder case of Vusimuzi “Cat” Matlala and four others. Kekana is attempting to have evidence against him excluded from court proceedings. State prosecutor Elize Le Roux pointed out discrepancies between Kekana's evidence submitted during the trial and the statements he made during his bail application in the case related to the 2024 alleged murder of engineer Armand Swart.

Le Roux questioned Kekana, stating that his evidence is being altered to avoid admitting contradictions between his initial bail affidavit and his current testimony. Kekana denied tailoring his evidence and claimed that everything he testifies in court is accurate and corresponds to what occurred.
