JOHANNESBURG - Alleged crime kingpin Vusimuzi 'Cat' Matlala is due to appear in the Alexandra Magistrate's Court this Friday morning.
The 49-year-old businessman faces charges of attempted murder, conspiracy to commit murder, and money laundering.
He allegedly orchestrated a hit on his ex-girlfriend, actress Tebogo Thobejane.
Matlala's name has surfaced in explosive claims by KZN police boss, Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi, who says he's tied to a crime syndicate that's allegedly linked to Police Minister Senzo Mchunu.
The controversial tenderpreneur is being held at the maximum-security Kgosi Mampuru Correctional Centre.
