Muzikayise Malephane implicated Shoba after reaching a plea and sentencing agreement with the state.
The matter was remanded until March 25 after his first bail bid was denied in the Roodepoort Magistrate’s Court.
Spokesperson for the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) in Gauteng Phindi Mjonondwane says Shoba has also appointed a new legal team.
Shoba is facing charges of premeditated murder, conspiracy to commit murder and defeating the ends of justice.
