Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>Taxi boss Vusi Reginald Mathibela and three other men were, on Thursday, convicted in the Gauteng High Court in Pretoria for the 2015 murder of businessman Wandile Bozwana.<\/p>\n

Mathibela (also known as Vusi Khekhe), 36; Sipho Patrick Hudla, 40; Matamela Robert Mutapa, 46; and Bonginkosi Paul Khuma, 42, were convicted of premeditated murder, attempted murder, possession of a firearm, and possession of ammunition.<\/p>\n

Bozwana was murdered in a suspected hit on 2 October 2015.<\/p>\n

He and his business associate, Mpho Baloyi, had just returned from Johannesburg when they were gunned down at the Garsfontein off-ramp in Pretoria.<\/p>\n

The four men were arrested between 2015 and 2016.<\/p>\n

National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) regional spokesperson Lumka Mahanjana said Mathibela was previously released on R50 000 bail, but was re-arrested in 2019 after he violated his bail conditions.<\/p>\n

Mahanjana said his bail money was forfeited to the State, and that he had been in custody since.<\/p>\n

The matter was postponed to 4 August for sentencing proceedings.<\/p>\n
