Ga Motodi woman conspires to kill husband
"My brother's wife tried framing some family members for the murder and failed. She immediately fled with his property and furniture after his burial. We applaud the provincial police for cracking the case and wish for justice to be granted for our beloved brother."
BURGERSFORT – The Limpopo SAPS arrested a 37-year-old-woman, her boyfriend and a supposed hit man for the alleged murder of schoolteacher, Daniel Ramaipadi (53).
He was shot and killed by unknown men on July 22 when he arrived at his home at Ga Motodi Village. His car was also stolen, but was found abandoned two days later at Ga Mashamothane Village near a sports field. He was a teacher and head of department at Manoke High School.
Last week the police arrested his wife, Glenrose Vuyelwa Ramaipadi. According to the Limpopo SAPS spokesman, Lt Col Moatshe Ngoepe, she is suspected to have conspired with her boyfriend to hire a hit man to kill her husband. Glenrose appeared in the Praktiseer Magistrate’s Court on Wednesday on a charge of murder and was denied bail.
Her alleged accomplices, Sewisha “Nomvethe” Mphego (42), her supposed boyfriend, and Richwell Moeng (34), the alleged hit man, were also denied bail at the same court.

The case, believed to be domestic violence-related, was successfully cracked by a special task team comprising the elite provincial tracking team, provincial crime intelligence and detectives.
In a statement, acting provincial police commissioner, Maj Gen Bafana Linda, said after the incident was reported to the police, a special task team was formed and a manhunt launched, which led to the arrest of the three suspects.
The police investigation is still continuing. Tubatse police are currently hot on the heels of another suspect, a Zimbabwean national, Frackson Ndou, who is also allegedly implicated in the murder case.
The deceased’s brother, Enos Ramaipadi, told Steelburger/Lydenburg News that they are relieved that the suspects are behind bars.
“My brother’s wife tried framing some family members for the murder and failed. She immediately fled with his property and furniture after his burial. We applaud the provincial police for cracking the case and wish for justice to be granted for our beloved brother.”
On December 3 the three suspects reappeared in the court. The accused’s lawyers suggested the court appoint another presiding officer to handle the case. The magistrate, Eunice Mogashwa assured that they would do so. The case was remanded to January 3.
