The High Court in Johannesburg erupted with intense tension as the explosive trial of Vusimuzi Matlala and four co-accused reached a chaotic climax during the harrowing testimony of key defense witness Musa Khawula.

Accused of illegally orchestrating three failed assassination attempts against former girlfriend Tebogo Thobejane, taxi boss Joe Ferrari Seabi, and celebrated music producer Siyabonga Mokubung, also known as DJ Vettis, Vusimuzi Matlala faced breathtaking claims on the stand as Musa Khawula detailed horrifying acts of violence.

Broadcasting directly from inside the courthouse, news reporter Nqobile Vokwana provided live updates to presenter Leanne Manas, revealing how Musa Khawula resumed his cross-examination to expose the grim events surrounding his arrest.

Taking the stand as the defense’s second and critical witness, Musa Khawula recounted the terrifying moments of his initial capture on 8th Road in Bramley.

During the confrontation on the street, Musa Khawula pleaded with arresting officers to handle him with care, stating that he was not feeling well.

Addressing the court directly, Musa Khawula clarified that he did not make that plea due to a genuine medical condition, but as a desperate tactic to shield himself from an imminent physical beating by law enforcement.

Following the street arrest, officers forcibly transported Musa Khawula to his residence located at number 34 Fifth Road, forcing their way inside the property.

Once inside the home, officers subjected Musa Khawula to extreme physical interrogation, placing a plastic bag over his head and suffocating him.

According to direct testimony delivered by Musa Khawula, officers choked him with the plastic bag at least five separate times until he completely lost consciousness.

During the suffocating ordeal, officers repeatedly demanded to know the location of the firearms used in the shooting of engineer Armandt Swart.

Fearing for his life throughout the violent interrogation, Musa Khawula informed the judge that the sheer severity of the suffocations left him convinced he would not survive the day.

The courtroom proceedings shifted to the state’s central evidence involving a stolen white Hyundai i20, which law enforcement claimed Musa Khawula was actively driving when spotted by a private security officer prior to his arrest.

Musa Khawula completely denied ever driving the Hyundai i20, testifying before the court that the vehicle belonged entirely to a tenant residing at his house.

Asserting that he never once operated the car, Musa Khawula directly accused the private security officer of fabricating testimony when claiming to have identified him behind the wheel.

Anchor Leanne Manas thanked reporter Nqobile Vokwana for the comprehensive courtroom update as cross-examination resumes in front of the judge.
