Mamelodi man accused of double murder abandons bail application

Cousins killed in Mamelodi

Tebogo Mnisi (38) from Extension 17, Mamelodi East, has abandoned his bail application at the Mamelodi Magistrates’ Court earlier today. Mnisi faces two counts of premeditated murder, attempted murder, possession of an unlicensed firearm, and possession of unlawful ammunition.

 It is alleged that during the early hours of 26 October 2025, at around 02:00, Mnisi fatally shot his girlfriend, Tshiyamo Sweetness Moramaga (22), and her cousin, Boleseng Mirandah Moramaga (21). He also allegedly attempted to kill Desmond Semang (27), a friend of the two women, while they were at Small Konka Tavern in Mamelodi East.

 Police investigations led to Mnisi’s arrest the following day, 27 October 2025, at a garage on  Solomon Mahlangu Drive.

 During his brief court appearance, Mnisi informed the court that he would not proceed with his bail application. The case was postponed to 19 January 2026 for further investigation. He remains in custody pending the finalisation of the case.

 The National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) has strongly condemned the incident, reiterating its commitment to tackling gender-based violence and ensuring that perpetrators face the full might of the law.
