Judge Rules on Hospital Records in High-Stakes Trial | Johannesburg News

In a major courtroom twist, Judge Moosa sides with the prosecution in allowing hospital records from Musa Kekana to be used to challenge his credibility—not to prove guilt, but to expose contradictions in his story. The defense had objected, calling the records hearsay since the doctor wasn’t present to testify, but the judge ruled that once evidence is submitted, it’s fair game for cross-examination. This pivotal decision fuels the ongoing trial of Kekana and four co-defendants—including “Cat” Vusimusi Matlala—facing 25 serious charges including murder conspiracy and money laundering. The case hinges on whether Kekana’s arrest was lawful, and this ruling clears the way for deeper scrutiny of his statements.
