Matlala to stay behind bars, wife granted bail
Vusi Matlala has abandoned his bid for bail while his wife, Tsakani Matlala, was granted R20,000 bail.
The Matlalas appeared before the Alexandra Regional Court on Tuesday.
The couple faces charges linked to the alleged botched assassination attempt on Matlala’s ex-girlfriend, Tebogo Thobejane, in 2023.
Matlala and his wife have been charged along with two others who are alleged to be the triggermen in the failed hit.

Tsakani Matlala was arrested last week.
She faces fraud and money laundering charges, and three counts of attempted murder as an accessory after the fact, as contained in the provisional charge sheet.
Her husband faces charges of conspiracy to commit murder and attempted murder, among others, along with Floyd Mabusela and Musa Kekana in the case.
Tsakani has been ordered to hand in her passport, remain in Gauteng, and not contact any witnesses in the case.
The matter was postponed until 11 July.
