However, the other two accused in the matter, 35-year-old Musa Kekana and Tiego Floyd Mabusela, who is 47 years old, did not attend the latest court sitting.

Matlala and his wife, along with the other two accused, are facing grave charges including attempted murder and conspiracy to commit murder.

Tsakani’s bail was granted after her legal team revealed that she was not a flight risk and had minor children under her watch.

However, her bail conditions include surrendering her passport to the investigating police officers and not leaving the Gauteng province.

On the other hand, Mtalala’s bail application did not proceed today and will remain behind bars with the other two.

Magistrate Renier Boshoff postponed the matter to 11 June.

All four are to appear before the courts, and the case is set to be transferred to the Johannesburg High Court. A publicist close to Tebogo confirmed with Briefly News that Vusumuzi Cat Matlaila "did not proceed with his bail application. Musa Kekana and Tiego Floyd Mabusela remain in police custody."

The four face a string of grave charges

Kekana and Mabusela never applied for bail. Kekana faces a string of charges, including one count of conspiracy to commit murder.

He also has three counts of attempted murder levelled against him, with one count of unlawful possession of a firearm.

The other count is of unlawful possession of ammunition.

Mabusela also has the same charges levelled against him, with three more fraud-related charges against him.

Matlala was linked to the matter after investigating officers, investigating a different case on the tenderpreneur, came across messages between the tycoon and the alleged hitmen.

Rumour mill has it that in one of the messages, Matlala urged the hitmen to “shoot her (Tebogo Thobejane) in the face so that her family does not recognise her.”

However, little is known about the reasons behind the alleged hit.
