The State alleges that he orchestrated attacks on ex-girlfriend, actress Tebogo Thobejane, DJ Vettys and businessman Joe Sibanyoni.

His legal team is expected to push for access to additional evidence.

Last week's guilty plea in a separate fraud and corruption case could also come under the spotlight.
