Attempted murder accused Vusimusi Cat Matlala, described as an escape risk by correctional services officials, will be moved to Kgosi Mampuru II Correctional Centre before his criminal trial, the high court in Pretoria heard on Tuesday.
Matlala is being held at eBongweni Correctional Centre, a super-maximum security prison in Kokstad, KwaZulu-Natal.
Last month, Matlala initiated a legal challenge to be moved back to Kgosi Mampuru maximum security prison in Pretoria. He argued that being detained in KwaZulu-Natal while facing trial in Gauteng would render the criminal trial unfair because he would have insufficient time to consult his legal team.
