Evidence Admissibility in Kekana Trial | Johannesburg News

In Johannesburg, a high-stakes courtroom drama unfolds as prosecutors and defense lawyers clash over whether evidence seized from Musa Kekana’s arrest can be used — with Captain Sekgobela’s testimony at the center. The state argues Kekana willingly consented to searches of his car and home, even handing over gate keys, while the defense claims the arrest was unlawful, rights weren’t read, and no warrant was obtained. The judge has paused evidence admission until the admissibility issue is resolved — but not before revealing chilling details: Kekana coughing blood, a towel handed to him, and a bloodstained jersey shown in court. This pivotal hearing could reshape the entire case, which includes charges of cartel activity, attempted murder, and fraud — and the outcome will determine whether justice can move forward or if the trial stalls on procedural grounds.

After 14 Years Justice Finally Served | Johannesburg News

After 14 years behind bars, Goodman Tshabangu walked free this week as the Constitutional Court unanimously overturned his murder, robbery, and firearm conviction — a case built on a critical flaw: the prosecution never proved the gun found with him was the exact weapon used in the 2006 crime. The court ruled his trial was compromised by judicial overreach and insufficient evidence, declaring that mere possession of the firearm didn’t equate to guilt. Tshabangu, who always maintained his innocence, finally won his freedom — a powerful victory for justice, due process, and the right to a fair trial.
