In the Vusimuzi “Cat” Matlala trial, a Tactical Response Team (TRT) captain clashes with defence counsel during evidence on Wednesday. The disagreement arises as cross-examination intensifies into issues connected to the arrest of Musa Kekana. According to the report, the captain tells the lawyer not to interrupt him while he is speaking in response to questions, and the exchange becomes heated in court.
The incident occurs during ongoing proceedings in which the defence scrutinizes the circumstances and details of Kekana’s arrest. The clash is specifically framed as a dispute over courtroom conduct and interruptions rather than a change to the underlying allegations in the trial. The report notes that the confrontation takes place while cross-examination continues, suggesting the matter is tied to the progress of testimony at that stage of the case.
No additional facts about the outcome of the clash or any formal rulings are provided in the available source.
