Prosecutors Say Mamelodi Double Murder Was Premeditated: Tebogo Mnisi Remains Behind Bars

Prosecutors in the Mamelodi double murder case believe that 38-year-old Tebogo Mnisi deliberately planned and executed the killings of two young women. Mnisi appeared before the magistrates’ court on Wednesday, facing multiple charges including murder, attempted murder, and possession of an illegal firearm.

Mnisi is accused of killing cousins Baleseng and Tshiamo Moramaga in Mamelodi, while a third victim, 27-year-old Desmond Senong, was reportedly shot and left severely injured during the incident.

The State, represented by prosecutor Tshepo Mphake, outlined that the murders were not random acts of violence but premeditated crimes allegedly carried out with an unlicensed firearm.

Accused Faces Multiple Serious Charges

According to Mphake, the accused faces two counts of premeditated murder, one count of attempted murder, and additional charges for possession of an illegal firearm and ammunition. The court heard that Mnisi allegedly used the weapon to kill Baleseng and Tshiamo.

Reading out the charges, Mphake said, “It being alleged that on the 26th of October 2025 in the district of Mamelodi, the accused did unlawfully have in his possession a 9mm pistol in the make unknown.”
