    Trial Within a Trial: Captain Admits Failing to Arrest Key Accused

    In a trial within a trial, Captain Phimi Sekgobela admitted to failing to arrest key accused Musa Kekana during his arrest in 2024 following the murder of Vereeniging engineer Armand Swart. The admission came during the cross-examination of Sekgobela, the state's third witness, in the attempted murder case involving alleged underworld figure Vusimusi 'Cat' Matlala and his co-accused. The defense argues that there was no lawful basis for Kekana's arrest as investigators had no credible evidence linking him and the other accused to the murder at the time of their arrest.
