Businessman Vusimuzi “Cat” Matlala together with co-accused appear in the High Court in Johannesburg on January 29, 2026.
The pre-trial hearing of controversial businessman Vusimuzi “Cat” Matlala, together with his four co-accused, has been postponed to February 6 at the High Court in Johannesburg.
Matlala is facing 11 counts of attempted murder, along with a string of other charges.
The charges relate to failed assassination attempts on his former girlfriend, Tebogo Thobejane, businessman Joe Sibanyoni and music producer Seunkie Mokubong, commonly known as DJ Vetteys.
All five accused made a brief appearance in the dock on Thursday morning before their case was postponed.
This time around, the matter was postponed to allow Matlala’s defence time to engage the Correctional Services Department to arrange for him to be transferred back to a prison in Gauteng.
This comes after he was transferred to a maximum security prison in Kokstad in KwaZulu-Natal.
His defence claims that this has significantly hampered their ability to consult with him in preparation for his pre-trial hearing.
