PRETORIA - Alleged underworld figure Vusimuzi “Cat” Matlala has abandoned his bail application in the Pretoria Specialised Commercial Crimes Court.
Matlala faces charges relating to the alleged use of a fraudulent identity document and falsified bank statements to secure a Waterkloof property lease worth R95,000 a month.
His lawyers first want to deal with a separate case in the South Gauteng High Court. Matlala’s legal team could return to court to apply for bail at a later stage.
The matter has been postponed to 29 October for further investigations.
Matlala’s wife, Tsakane, and two other co-accused have already been granted bail of R20,000 each.
His bail application had been expected to be heard over two days.
