The third state witness in the attempted murder trial of Vusimuzi “Cat” Matlala and four others is expected to continue cross-examination on Thursday at the High Court in Johannesburg.
Captain Phimi Sekgobela has been testifying in a trial within a trial. He detailed the sequence of events on the day Musa Kekana was arrested after the murder of Vereeniging engineer Armand Swart in April 2024.
The accused face charges linked to failed assassinations of businessman Joe Sibanyoni, socialite Tebogo Thobejane and music producer Seunkie Mokubung. The group includes Matlala, his wife Tsakani, Tiego Mabusela and Nthabiseng Nzama.
On Wednesday Sekgobela testified that he lacked sufficient details to apply for a search warrant before entering Kekana’s property. He stated he had never encountered an application with only an address and no name.
