KT Molefe, along with three co-accused, will face trial in February for the murders of five victims, including two musicians.
The bodyguards of murder-accused Katiso ‘KT’ Molefe were arrested outside court on Wednesday.
The two bodyguards arrived at the Alexandra Magistrate’s Court without carrying the necessary documentation for their high-powered weapons or the vehicle they had travelled in.
Molefe was in court with three co-accused who face charges including murder, conspiracy to commit murder and the possession of unlicenced firearms.

Police searched the bodyguards outside the court, where they were questioned about their weapons.
“They were found to be carrying two semi-automatic AKM rifles and ammo without valid permits.
“A vehicle transporting the bodyguards was also seized after the licence disk did not correspond with the registration number plates,” police confirmed.

The dockets relating to a string of murders, including those of two musicians, have been centralised to streamline prosecutions.
