The family of cousins Tshiamo Moramaga, 22, and Baleseng Moramaga, 21, will bury them Saturday in Luckau village outside Groblersdal after a shooting in Mamelodi East last weekend. A third victim, Desmond Senong, survived and is in the hospital. Police arrested Tebogo Mnisi, 38, who appeared in the Mamelodi Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday, abandoned his bail bid, and remains in custody. Investigators say the attack appears linked to a personal dispute, and the inquiry continues.
Mnisi, reported to have dated one victim, faces two counts of premeditated murder, attempted murder, and possession of an illegal firearm and ammunition. The cousins were found Sunday morning with multiple gunshot wounds, according to police. The case has renewed concerns about gender-based violence and firearm crime in Mamelodi East, where residents have pressed for better safety. Loved ones and activists are calling for swift justice as the family prepares for the funeral.
