The extortion and money laundering case involving Mpumalanga taxi boss Joe Sibanyoni, also known as “Ferrari”, and his three co-accused has been re-enrolled.
The four men are expected to appear in the Delmas Magistrate’s Court on Wednesday after the matter was reinstated.
They face allegations of extorting more than R2 million in alleged protection fees from a local mining entrepreneur.
The case was previously struck off the court roll on 18 May by Chief Magistrate Tuletu Tonjeni after state prosecutor Mkhuseli Ntaba failed to appear in court.
Tonjeni also issued a warrant for Ntaba’s arrest following his absence.
The National Prosecuting Authority says the magistrate misapplied the law in striking the matter from the roll and has since challenged the ruling in a higher court.
