State ready to oppose bail against 'Western Cape's most wanted'

Tshukela, 38, who had been sought in connection with a series of violent taxi-related crimes in Cape Town, was apprehended in Welkom after months on the run. Also known by the alias "Yesu", Tshukela made his first appearance in the Athlone Magistrate's Court yesterday where the State outlined a disturbing pattern of violence allegedly linked to protection rackets in the taxi industry. He now faces a raft of serious charges, including murder, attempted murder, arson, and extortion.
