According to a report by Daily Sun, Vusimuzi ‘Cat’ Matlala was arrested on Wednesday, 14 May, as the alleged paymaster in a botched hit on his ex-lover Tebogo Thobejane in October 2023.

He appeared at Alexandra Magistrates Court on Monday, 19 May, without his co-accused for a formal bail application.

Tebogo Thobejane accuses Inno Morolong of continued harassment

Meanwhile, it seems there's no end to Tebogo Thobejane's legal issues. The influencer has had her life turned upside down by the people closest to her.

In February, Briefly News reported that Tebogo Thobejane alleged that her former friend, Inno Morolong, is still harassing her despite being under house arrest.

While she was initially satisfied with the court’s decision to place Inno Morolong under house arrest, Tebogo felt the decision wasn’t enough to deter the Diamond and Dolls star from continuing to harass her.
