The attempted murder case against controversial businessman Vusimuzi ‘Cat’ Matlala has been postponed in the Alexandra Magistrates’ Court.
According to the National Prosecuting Authority, Matlala, as well as four co-accused, including his wife, are facing a raft of charges relating to a shooting incident in Sandton in 2023.
“Matlala, along with his wife Tsakane Matlala and co-accused Musa Kekana, Tiego Floyd Mabusela and Nthabiseng Nzama, faces charges of conspiracy to commit murder, attempted murder and money laundering, as well as attempting to defeat [the ends of] justice.
“The case stems from an alleged incident in Sandton between 12 and 17 October 2023, where Tebogo Thobejane’s vehicle was allegedly shot at. Matlala is scheduled to appear alone [next] Tuesday for a bail application and will remain in custody until his next court appearance,” the NPA said.
The prosecutorial body said it requested a postponement to “allow for the finalisation of centralising” at least seven other dockets against Matlala. – SAnews.gov.za
