The Johannesburg High Court heard a detailed account of the 2022 ambush of taxi magnate Joe 'Ferrari' Sibanyoni, as security officer Bethuel Cele testified about the chaotic incident.Cele described how he and colleague Francis Mazibuko were stationed at Centurion Golf Estate when Sibanyoni arrived in his red Ferrari.A white BMW sedan, believed to be carrying gunmen, approached and opened fire, forcing Cele to return fire with his 9mm pistol.He recounted witnessing one gunman shot in the stomach and another shouting 'Die, you dog' before opening fire.

During cross-examination, Cele's testimony was challenged regarding the number of suspects and evidence collected, with legal teams questioning his account.The case involves Vusimuzi Cat Matlala and others facing 25 charges, including attempted murder.The trial was postponed due to tensions over Cele's testimony style and language use.The incident highlights ongoing security concerns and legal complexities in South Africa's criminal justice system.
