Judgment has been reserved in Vusimuzi Cat Matlala appeal against the Alexandra Magistrate's Court's decision to deny him bail.
The defence argued that it is in the interest of justice for Matlala to be granted bail. However, the state opposed the defences advances at the High Court in Johannesburg on Monday.
Matlala is the alleged mastermind who paid gunmen, who are his co-accused, in the attempted hit on his former partner, Tebogo Thobejane in October 2023.
