Lesetja Rameetse, who appeared in court on March 19, faces a murder charge, and the case has sparked outrage in Seshego.

Residents have called for swift justice, with many attending court proceedings and urging the authorities to ensure the accused is not granted bail.

Slight Mabotja, the CEO of Seshego Community Against Crime and Gangsterism (Scacag), spoke of the importance of community involvement: “My plea is, people must come in numbers so that the killer does not get bail.”

The investigation is ongoing and the next court date is set for April 30.
