Case of two murdered cousins postponed
The murder-accused did not apply for bail and will remain in custody.
The case of a 38-year-old accused of killing two cousins has been postponed for further investigation.
Tebogo Mnisi (38), accused of killing Baleseng (22) and Tshiamo Moramaga (21), and the attempted murder of a third person, who was hospitalised after a fatal gunshot wound, appeared in Mamelodi Magistrate’s Court on March 19.
Senior prosecutor Advocate Anne-Marie Bendeman said the case was postponed to May 20 for further investigations and a post-mortem report.
Bendeman said Mnisi is facing five charges: two charges of premeditated murder, one charge of attempted murder, possession of live ammunition, and possession of an unlicensed firearm.
He did not apply for bail and will remain in police custody.
Mnisi was arrested on October 26, 2025 in connection with the murder of the two cousins and the attempted murder of a third person, which occurred in Mamelodi East Ext 17, earlier that day.
