The Johannesburg High Court rules that “Cat” Matlala and two co-accused may receive visits from friends and family on Saturdays. According to the advocates appearing in court, the men have been in the dock every weekday and have therefore not been able to receive visitors or obtain fresh clothes for the week ahead. The ruling is made in response to the inability to have regular contact outside the court schedule during the weekdays. The court’s decision specifies Saturdays as the permitted day for visits, indicating a structured arrangement rather than unrestricted visitation. While the reports focus on access to visitors and clothing, they do not set out additional details such as visit times, conditions, or whether the ruling applies to other days or circumstances. The decision reflects the court’s consideration of practical issues faced by defendants who appear in court throughout the week, including personal support and welfare needs. The case continues under the court’s process, with Saturday access now permitted for the three men.
