Limpopo Anti-Drugs, Gangsterism and Crime (LADGAC) rehabilitation Co_ founder Tsebe Phillimon Moloto appears to be signalling a desire to move on from his troubled relationship with former business associates, including Oageng Makhura.

In a message directed at his former business partner and Makhura, Moloto said people must learn to accept when relationships come to an end.

“In life, accept when it’s over and move on. Even biological twins separate at some point in life. We all belong to the Man upstairs. No one owns anyone, even in marriage. And I thank you,” Moloto said.

The message comes against the backdrop of a bitter fallout over the ownership and management of LADGAC, an organisation that became widely known in Limpopo for its unconventional approach to helping people battling drug addiction and gangsterism.

The organisation has attracted considerable attention through social-media videos showing Moloto and other members intervening in cases involving people allegedly caught up in drug abuse and criminality.

However, tensions within the organisation have been simmering for years.

A 2024 report on the dispute described a bitter fallout between Moloto and Makhura, with the disagreement threatening the future of the rehabilitation centre.

At the time, the organisation was reported to have more than 30 people undergoing rehabilitation at its facility in Seshego.
The dispute later resulted in the rehabilitation initiative becoming divided, with separate operations emerging under different individuals.

Makhura has publicly spoken about his role in building LADGAC and his fallout with Moloto, while Moloto has previously defended his leadership of the organisation.

The dispute took another dramatic turn in June this year when Moloto became embroiled in a criminal case.

Moloto was arrested in July and appeared in the Polokwane Magistrates’ Court facing two counts of malicious damage to property.

The charges relate to allegations that a rehabilitation-centre signboard and a Toyota Hilux belonging to his former business partner were set alight on 28 June 2026.

The State alleged that the vehicle was worth about R400,000, while other reports placed the total alleged damage at approximately R800,000.
Moloto was granted R50,000 bail and ordered to report to the police twice a week.

He was granted R50 000.00 bail and also prohibited from contacting the complainant and was required to inform the investigating officer if he intended to leave the province.

The matter was postponed to 22 September 2026 for further police investigations.
