The so-called confession is a subject of much contention, as accused Sipho Hudla, claimed it is not the truth. pretorianews

Pretoria - An alleged confession said to have been made a month after the assassination of billionaire businessman Wandile Bozwana was read out to the Gauteng High Court, Pretoria, in which one of the accused claimed that Vusi Mathibela, also known as Mamelodi’s No 1 Tsotsi, paid him and his co-accused R60 000 “for the job”.

The “confession” was earlier the subject of a lengthy trial-within-a trial, as the defence wanted to prevent the prosecution from using it as evidence. According to the prosecution Bozwana and Baloyi were followed while they went to a shoe store inside the Sandton City mall as well as when they visited a hair and nail salon, where each had a manicure and pedicure.

In his “confession,” which was read out to the court by the SAPS officer who took it down, Hudla said he was at a taxi rank that day with his friends, when one of them said “Vusi” just phoned and wanted to meet them. Hudla said one of his co-accused got out and came back with a bag, containing a pistol and an AK-47 rifle.
