The group pleads not guilty to 25 charges that include attempted murder, conspiracy to commit murder, money laundering and fraud.
Matlala is accused of ordering hits on his ex-girlfriend Tebogo Thobejane, businessman Joe Sibanyoni and DJ Vettys between 2022 and 2024.
The proceedings resume on Tuesday with the state calling its first witness.
