Judge Blocks Controversial Taxi Boss Footage | Johannesburg News
Description
The judge blocked the prosecution’s attempt to introduce shaky CCTV footage of the ambush that killed taxi boss Joe Sibanyoni, ruling it inadmissible until its authenticity was proven — a move that stunned the courtroom and gave the defense a major win. The state had hoped to use the video under a digital evidence act, relying on a security guard’s testimony, but the defense slammed the door, arguing the footage was handed over too late, lacked chain of custody, and needed expert verification. The prosecution vowed to retry later, after the guard — who described gunmen firing AK-47s and shouting “die, you dog” — finished his dramatic testimony. This is just one piece of a sprawling case where the accused faces life in prison for orchestrating multiple shootings, including this deadly ambush.
