Tebogo Thobejane pleas for privacy as ex-boyfriend's attempted murder bail hearing postponed
It was yet another brief appearance at the Alexandra Magistrates' Court on Monday, 19 May. Appearing for the second time in the case of his alleged plot to murder socialite and actress Tebogo Thobejane, Vusimuzi 'Cat' Matlala stood bold in an all-black outfit. Matlala was arrested on 14 May in Midrand by a crime intelligence unit after a two-year-long investigation into an incident that took place at a Sandton club. In October 2023, Tebogo was outside Saints Champagne Lounge with her friend and her driver when three hit-men fired multiple shots at them, leaving her unscathed but her friend wheelchair-bound. Two of the hitmen, Musa Kekana and Floyd Mabusela, were then arrested about a year later, marking a breakthrough in the case. In a recent statement by Tebogo, she laments how difficult the past two years have been. 'One of the hardest parts of this entire experience has been facing the people who were with me that night - the ones who were hurt alongside me. I've had to find the strength to express my sorrow to their families, and to live with the pain that they were affected because of a situation tied to me. It's something that stays with me everyday.' She adds that she's on a journey of healing and is thankful for the grace and support she's received. 'Despite everything, I remain incredibly grateful to the family for showing me grace, compassion and not placing blame where there is already so much hurt. I will continue to pray for them and support their healing too.' More than anything, she's hopeful that justice will prevail. Meanwhile, the man behind it all is set to remain in police custody until his formal bail hearing set to sit on 30 May. Both the state and Matlala's attorneys agreed upon this in the last appearance due to electricity problems. The National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) confirms the postponement. 'The Alexandra Magistrates' Court has postponed Vusimuzi Matlala's (49) bail application to 30 May 2025, for a formal bail hearing, following an agreement between both parties due to the unavailability of electricity.' The NPA concluded by saying that the accused will remain in custody pending his formal bail application. It was also revealed that Matlala would be represented by a new legal team. Speaking to Drum on the sidelines, Matlala's previous attorney advocate Cyril Mlotshwa confirmed that Matlala's family have appointed a new instructing attorney. 'We are from outside the jurisdiction (KZN) so we are not familiar with these surroundings, so it makes sense.'

Wife of attempted murder accused Vusi Matlala released on R20,000 bail in Tebogo Thobejane case; husband remains in custody
The fourth suspect in the alleged murder case has been granted bail at the Alexandra Magistrates Court. Tsakani, wife to business tycoon Vusi Matlala, was arrested on Thursday, 29 May, as an accomplice to the murder plot of socialite and actress, Tebogo Thobejane. The two are charged with attempted murder, conspiracy to commit murder, fraud, and attempt to defeat the ends of justice, alongside Musa Kekana (35) and Tiego Floyd Mabusela (47), who are believed to have been the hitmen hired. In today's court proceedings, Matlala's lawyers prioritised the release of Tsakani, leaving Vusimuzi behind bars to await his next court appearance scheduled for Friday, 11 July at the Johannesburg High Court for an indictment. Read more | Tebogo Thobejane's alleged attempted killer to apply for bail Ahead of the bail application, Tebogo voiced her concerns about the possibility of her alleged killers roaming free. 'I never thought I'd have to live in fear after surviving an attempt on my life. But here I am, shaking because the very people who plotted to kill me may be granted bail on Tuesday. A husband and wife, both involved in a conspiracy to have me murdered, are among the accused. The woman, someone I once knew, used her power and her money to orchestrate bullying campaigns online, to break me down emotionally, and ultimately to silence me. 'They paid girls to harass me online. They tried to kill me. And now they may walk free,' she adds. Tebogo was speaking out on the back end of the justice system's consistent failure to protect victims. She pointed out that protection is minimal for victims as corruption lurks in courtrooms, and survivors are expected to move on while their abusers roam free. Read more | Tebogo Thobejane pleas for privacy ahead of attempted murder case bail hearing 'If these people get bail, I fear not only for my life but for others. Because I'm not their only victim. We cannot allow this system to fail again,' she says. Much to her disappointment, Tsakani was granted bail of R20 000. The bail application of Vusimuzi, on the other hand, was postponed after the state presented new information and the defence requested time to prepare. The hitmen duo also remains in custody.

‘I have never lied'- Groenewald tells Parliament over 3 ‘vanished' juvenile offenders
Correctional Services Minister Pieter Groenewald denied misleading Parliament about three juvenile offenders who disappeared from the prison system. He appeared before Parliament's Select Committee on Security and Justice to address concerns raised in a recent report. DA MP Nicholas Gotsell accused Groenewald of being misled by officials and attempting to shift blame to the provincial Department of Social Development. Correctional Services Minister Pieter Groenewald has insisted he did not mislead Parliament about the whereabouts of three violent juvenile offenders who vanished from the prison system. Groenewald appeared before Parliament's Select Committee on Security and Justice on Tuesday morning, where the Department of Correctional Services briefed MPs on its response to the Judicial Inspectorate for Correctional Services (JICS) 2023/24 Annual Report. However, under mounting pressure, Groenewald faced tough questions from MPs regarding the three juveniles who were meant to be transferred to Pollsmoor Prison in 2024 but were unaccounted for during a recent oversight visit. DA MP Nicholas Gotsell has been leading the charge for answers. 'We reject the statement by minister Groenewald, who continues to deny his department's role in the disappearance of three convicted criminals from custody. It is clear the minister is being misled by officials desperate to cover up a shocking administrative failure that endangered public safety,' he said. READ | Blame game erupts over 3 violent juvenile offenders who vanished from system Gotsell added that Groenewald's attempt to shift blame to the provincial Department of Social Development was disingenuous. 'That department has no role in custodial decisions, warrants, or the implementation of court orders. Those responsibilities fall squarely on Correctional Services and the courts, as clearly set out in the court order,' he said. During the briefing, Groenewald maintained that he had relied on information provided by departmental officials. 'I did say they are in Pollsmoor, and I said there that I am responding to the information I received from the officials. Yes, it appears they were not there, and I said I would investigate the matter. If this information was given to me, there would be consequences,' he said. Groenewald said he welcomed accountability and scrutiny. 'I am open to criticism. I encourage members to come forward with problems in our facilities. I see honourable members as the public's eyes and ears. I have never lied to Parliament. I never misled, and if people are going to use problems for a political agenda, then I won't play along. The minister added that both the Horizon Youth Centre and the Western Cape MEC for Social Development, Jaco Londt, should also be called to account. 'I want to reiterate that the Horizon Centre for the Youth is part of this situation. I am willing to appear here, and we also need to get the MEC here. We should not blame the shift because it's a problem between Horizon, the police, and the correctional services. 'We have a responsibility to protect communities. Of course, it's totally unacceptable that you have dangerous offenders who slip through the system,' he told the committee. Last week, News24 reported that three juvenile offenders - convicted of murder, rape, and robbery - had disappeared from the prison system. All three, who are turning 20 this year, committed their crimes while underage. The first was convicted of rape and was facing two additional assault charges. The second was convicted of murder, and the third of murder and robbery with aggravating circumstances. READ | Thabo Bester's escape casts doubt on whether private prisons are superior, says Groenewald They had been detained at the Horizon Child and Youth Care Centre in Eerste River between 2021 and 2024, sentenced under the Child Justice Act. After turning 18, they were supposed to appear in court for formal transfer into adult correctional facilities - but this never happened. News24 understands that the circumstances of their release remain unclear. Two of the three have since been rearrested. In 2023, the trio attacked four staff members at the juvenile facility, stabbing and assaulting them. Following the incident, the Western Cape Department of Social Development refused to continue housing them, and they were to be transferred to Pollsmoor Prison in July 2024. However, during an oversight visit, Pollsmoor officials were unable to confirm their whereabouts. At the time, the provincial Department of Social Development said the offenders were detained at Pollsmoor in terms of an interim high court order, and the department had no further knowledge of their detention or its management. The department said the offenders have not been at Horizon since July last year. It further said the high court order remained active, even when the awaiting trial matter related to the three individuals concluded in the magistrate's court. This means they were to continue being detained at Pollsmoor due to the continued risk they posed to the children and staff at Horizon. The department communicated this to correctional services last month, explaining why it is important for individuals to continue being detained by correctional services as per the High Court order.
