One of the alleged hitmen accused of the murder of retired senior crime intelligence police officer Maj-Gen Hendrick Mogoerane has suggested two alleged hitmen he arranged for the job were the ones who killed Mogoerane.
Read out by Col Joseph Mashabane, the police officer who took down the statement, Zondo said Mayisela approached him at his place of work in Vosloorus in November 2017, where he worked as a taxi patroller.
Zondo said Mogoerane told them she was not on good terms with her husband, and that he had moved from the main house and was sleeping in an outside room. Zondo said Mogoerane told him her husband came home with girlfriends, “each time different”, and slept with them in the outside room.“I became scared, thinking it was entrapment. I asked her what should be done to the husband. She said anything, as long as he is dead.
Zondo asked Mthokozisi Zondo to assist and asked Lukhele to lend him her vehicle to attend to the matter.Lukhele remained inside the vehicle, he said. Velaphi Mogoerane met the men at her gate and pointed out her husband inside the house, where he was lying on a couch. The husband woke up and the men ran away. On their drive back to Vosloorus, Mogoerane called them and said her husband was asleep.
