ALLEGED “Big Five” cartel dik ding Vusimuzi “Cat” Matlala has been denied bail by Johannesburg High Court in an attempted murder case involving his ex-girlfriend, actress Tebogo Thobejane.

Matlala was named by Crime Intelligence boss Lieutenant-General Dumisani Khumalo at the Madlanga Commission as a member of the crime bosses behind the current police corruption crisis.

He appeared before the High Court last Monday to appeal the denial of his bail after being refused release last month after being charged with the attempted murder of the Muhvango star in a shooting incident on the N1 highway near Sandton in 2023.

Thobejane was allegedly shot in the foot during the attack.

Matlala also faces charges of conspiracy to commit murder and money laundering.
