Overview

• The bail appeal for Katiso “KT” Molefe is set for 2pm before Judge Brad Wanless at the Johannesburg High Court, according to the NPA.
• The state is formally challenging the appeal after Magistrate Renier Boshoff refused Molefe bail on August 20, citing the seriousness of the charges and flight risk concerns.
• Molefe stands accused of orchestrating multiple killings, including the 2022 murders of DJ Sumbody and his two bodyguards, and is also linked to cases involving DJ Vintos and engineer Armand Swart.
• Police say an AK‑47 and pistols seized from three alleged hitmen were forensically tied to several of the murders, reinforcing interlinked investigations across the cases.
• SAPS crime intelligence testified that Molefe and Vusimuzi “Cat” Matlala are members of a “Big Five” cartel, while Molefe remains in custody at Kgosi Mampuru II and is due back in the Alexandra court on November 11.
