Kekana’s Bail Affidavit Now Evidence | Johannesburg News

High Court in Johannesburg just ruled that Musa Kekana’s bail affidavit can now be used as evidence in the attempted murder trial of Vusimuzi “Cat” Matlala and associates — a major legal twist stemming from Kekana’s arrest after engineer Armand Swart’s fatal shooting. Despite Kekana’s claims of assault, the judge upheld that his general warning during bail was sufficient under precedent, clearing the way for his statements to be admissible. Kekana, alongside former detective Michael Pule Tau, remains jailed on 25 charges including attempted murder, conspiracy, fraud, and money laundering — all tied to alleged hit attempts between 2022 and 2024. The trial has been postponed until September 10 after defense lawyers dropped nearly 100 pages of AVL records just before closing arguments, catching prosecutors off guard and forcing them to prepare for an expert witness. The judge granted the delay to give the state time to review the new evidence, adding another layer to an already complex case.
