Accused pleads guilty in Limpopo education manager’s murder


One of the four people accused of killing a Limpopo Department of Education’s Circuit Manager has pleaded guilty to all charges in the Polokwane High Court.

Hlologelo Mogotlane has pleaded guilty of murder, conspiracy to commit murder, and robbery with aggravating circumstance.

Doctor Malekutu Mehlape was shot multiple times in December 2023.

The accused is a traditional healer who helped the convicted killer and daughter of the late Mehlape, Mologadi, with muti to kill her father.

The muti didn’t work and she then hired hit men.

Mologadi Mehlape, 28, pleaded guilty and was sentenced to a life imprisonment in June last year.

The other three accused, including her maternal aunt, have pleaded not guilty to all charges.
