The Polokwane High Court has sentenced a 47 year old Nathaniel Molatelo Mokgehle from Sekonye Village in Botlokwa to 20 years’ direct imprisonment for the brutal murder of then girlfriend, 41 year old Mokgadi Julia Mohlaela on Wednesday.

 

The accused was also sentenced to six months’ imprisonment for malicious damage to property, with the sentences ordered to run concurrently.

 

In the fall of 08 June 2025, Mokgadi was relaxing at her mother’s house after ending a toxic relationship with Mokgehle. She was relieved after opening a case against him for malicious damage to property. At the time, he was out on bail attending the case at Morebeng magistrate court.

 

Mokgadi and her mother were ambushed around 16:00 hours in the afternoon by Mokgehle who was armed with a sharp knife.

 

According to the limpopo police spokesperson Colonel Malesela Ledwaba Mokgadi tried to flee, however her speed was too not speed enough to save her life. He caught up with her and stabbed her until she collapsed to the ground.

 

During the confrontation, the accused produced a knife and repeatedly stabbed the victim. She attempted to flee the house, but the accused chased after her and continued stabbing her until she collapsed to the ground.  Emergency Medical Services arrived at the scene and certified her dead.

 

The accused made his first court appearance before the Morebeng Magistrate’s Court on 09 June 2025. His bail application was opposed, and he remained in custody. The matter was later transferred to the Polokwane High Court, where the trial commenced on 02 March 2026 and concluded on 04 March 2026, resulting in the conviction and sentencing.

 

The Provincial Commissioner of Police in Limpopo Lieutenant General Thembi Hadebe has commended the investigating officer for the diligent investigation that ensured justice for Mohlaela family.

Durban hairstylist Snenhlanhla “Nenezane” Mthembu has stepped back into her salon after a period that shook the country and placed her at the centre of a deeply troubling domestic violence case.

Her return comes after weeks in the ICU recovering from burn injuries linked to an incident that unfolded during a heated confrontation with her boyfriend.

The situation escalated on 9 January 2026 in Umlazi in the South if Durban in KZN where she suffered burnt wounds.

 

According to police reports and multiple news outlets, the conflict began when Nenezane accused her boyfriend of physically assaulting her.

 

She had previously opened several cases against him, claiming that authorities were slow to act. Her social media posts about the alleged abuse went viral, drawing national attention and sparking public outrage.

 

“Dear friends and family. It feels truly surreal to be writing this, but my heart is overflowing with gratitude and excitement as I announce my official return to work on March 1st 2026. As many of you know, I’ve been away, navigating a challenging recovery from an injury that took me away from what I love doing most working with all of you.

 

“This past while has been a profound journey, both physically and emotionally. There were days that felt incredibly long and moments filled with uncertainty. But through it all, one thing shone brighter than anything else: your unwavering support. Every single message, every WhatsApp, every phone call they weren’t just notifications; they were lifelines. They were tangible reminders of your kindness, your care, and the incredible community I’m so privileged to be a part of,” she wrote.

 

Nenezane said she was counting down the days until she can reconnect, dive back in, and continue our work together.

 

“Thank you, from the very bottom of my heart, for everything. I can’t wait to see you all soon,” she wrote.

 

Police said Nenezane suffered burn wounds while allegedly setting her boyfriend’s car alight during an Instagram Live session.

 

The vehicle burned completely, and she was rushed to hospital, where she spent days under close observation in the ICU.

 

Police later confirmed that she would face counter‑charges of assault and malicious damage to property once discharged.

 

Throughout her recovery, Nenezane remained mostly silent, but her supporters did not. Celebrities, activists, and ordinary South Africans rallied behind her, calling for stronger action against gender‑based violence.

 

Organisations like Women For Change condemned the systemic failures that force survivors to turn to social media for help.

 

Now, after weeks of physical and emotional healing, Nenezane has announced her return to work.

 

She described the journey as overwhelming and said the support she received kept her going. She expressed gratitude for every message and call, saying they reminded her that she was not alone.

 

Her comeback marks a moment of rebuilding. While investigations continue and legal matters remain unresolved, she is choosing to reclaim her space, her clients, and her sense of normalcy. For many who have followed her story, her return is a sign of resilience after a painful and public ordeal.
