Mamelodi taxi boss Vusi \u201cKhekhe\u201d Mathibela will have to opt for a bail application to get himself freed from prison after he lost his bid to have his arrest declared unlawful on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

According to police spokesperson Brigadier Vishnu Naidoo, the Gauteng High Court in Pretoria dismissed the application with costs after Mathibela failed to present a compelling argument to the court.<\/p>\n

Mathibela was granted bail in a separate case in which he is accused of the murder of construction and property mogul Wandile Bozwana. Bozwana was killed in a suspected hit in 2016.<\/p>\n

However, the State has applied to have his bail withdrawn. He is currently on trial for Bozwana\u2019s murder.<\/p>\n

Unlawful arrest<\/strong><\/p>\n

In March, Mathibela was arrested for alleged extortion from taxi drivers, businesses and spaza shop owners.<\/p>\n

Along with two others, Elias Skhosana and Stemer Monageng, he was charged with extortion, assault and intimidation.<\/p>\n

But he claims that his arrest was unlawful and that he was never presented with a warrant of arrest.<\/p>\n

During Mathibela\u2019s first appearance in the Pretoria Magistrate\u2019s Court, he claimed in an affidavit: \u201cMy legal team was informed that I was not arrested pursuant to the said warrant of arrest but in terms of section 40 of the Criminal Procedure Act.\u201d<\/p>\n

Section 40 deals with instances in which a peace officer can make an arrest without an arrest warrant.<\/p>\n

Good reason<\/strong><\/p>\n

Prosecutor Lizo Tshomela conceded that Mathibela was not arrested in terms of an arrest warrant, but said there was a good reason for this.<\/p>\n

Tshomela added that section 40 of the Criminal Procedure Act made provision for an arrest.<\/p>\n

Mathibela is expected in court again on April 26.<\/p>\n
