Tebogo Thobejane's alleged attempted killer to apply for bail

News24
There are a few things she fears.
She's always ready to speak her mind on Instagram. But now with her life allegedly on the line, Tebogo Thobejane has had to tone it down.
For about two years now, the socialite has been fearing for her life, even going as far as fleeing to Dubai and taking her child out of school.
This is after three hit men shot at her, her friend, and the driver outside Saints Champagne Lounge in Sandton, in October 2023.
Although she survived the shooting unscathed, her friend remains wheelchair bound.

Not only have two of the hit men been arrested since, tender tycoon Vusimuzi 'Cat' Matlala has also seen his day in court in the matter for allegedly plotting to kill Tebogo.
Vusimuzi, whose name has come up in government tender scandals, and Tebogo are ex-lovers who seem to have ended their romance on shaky grounds.
On Wednesday, 14 May, Vusimuzi was arrested by a crime intelligence unit in Midrand and was expected to appear at the Alexandra Magistrates Court on Friday, but his appearance was expedited for Thursday afternoon.
Outside the court room, two special security personnel stood with rifle guns and masked faces while he made a brief appearance, defended by more than one attorney.
In a charge sheet seen by Drum, Vusimuzi and the two hitmen, Musa Kekana (35) and Floyd Mabusela (47) are facing charges of attempted murder and conspiracy to commit murder.
During the court appearance, the defense team, headed by advocate Cyril Simphiwe Mlotshwa, made their client's intention to apply for bail known.
The case was then postponed to Monday, 19 May for a possible bail application.
The question a lot of people now have is whether or not the 'cat' with nine lives will go down this time around.
