The North West Premier said Jonas Mosweu's death was viewed as part of a continuous battle for freedom and human rights.

Matlhomola, 16, which translates into sorrow, was killed by Pieter Doorewaard and Phillip Schutte on 20 April 2017. The pair was sentenced to 18 years and 23 years imprisonment respectively on 6 March 2019. “Matlhomola’s life will never be replaced but this house will stand as a memory to try and heal our brutal and divided past as a people – co-existing on both sides of the divide as black and white communities,” North West Premier Job Mokgoro said.
The family has access to running water, electricity and the street is tarred compared to the dusty streets of Scotland. It has a car port and the yard is larger than yards at Scotland informal settlement. Dingake felt he was not consulted and was also not formally invited to the handing over of the house. Dingake and Mosweu do not live in the same house at Scotland.
