Controversial taxi boss Vusi “Khekhe” Mathibela spent Tuesday night in the remand section of the Kgosi Mampuru II Correctional Centre in Pretoria after being moved from the centre’s maximum C-Max section.
The Pretoria High Court heard on Wednesday, shortly before the proceedings adjourned for the day, that Mathibela, dubbed “Mamelodi's No 1 Tsotsi”, was the reason for the delay in the start of the proceedings, which were supposed to start at 9am instead of 10am.
The department had put Mathibela in the C-Max - a section of Kgosi Mampuru II correctional centre that houses some of South Africa's most dangerous criminals - and it had refused to move him, even after Mathibela had obtained an order from the high court in August that he be returned to the remand section of the prison.
Mathibela and co-accused Sipho Patrick Hudla, 40, Matamela Robert Mutapa, 46, and Bonginkosi Paul Khumalo, 42, were in court for the start of sentencing proceedings on Wednesday.
