Two accused appeared in the Polokwane Magistrate’s Court yesterday after they were arrested on Tuesday in connection with a murder on Magazyn Street, reports Polokwane Review.

The two men, aged 25 and 27, have been identified as Masheleng Mashishi and Karabo Mothiba.

They are charged with the murder of Adifele Maimela, a Lekompo genre producer and DJ widely known as ‘Baswele Mfana’, and the attempted murder of Monakoena Ramagoshi.

According to police reports, Ramagoshi was with the victim and his girlfriend at the time of the shooting.

The report further noted that Maimela was at his rented residence in the early morning hours when the two accused, allegedly known to Ramagoshi, arrived at the premises.

An argument reportedly broke out between the victim and the accused.

One of the accused then unlawfully and intentionally produced a firearm, shot the victim, and also attempted to shoot Ramagoshi.

Following the shooting, the accused asked others present to help transport the victim to the hospital.

However, he was declared dead on arrival. The firearm was recovered by police and seized for further investigation.

The case has been postponed to next Thursday for a bail application.
