The two cousins who were shot and killed last weekend in Mamelodi East, Pretoria will be laid to rest on Saturday in the Luckau village outside Groblersdal in Limpopo.
Tshiamo (22) and Baleseng Moramaga (21) were found with gunshot wounds on Sunday morning. A third victim is currently receiving treatment in hospital.
On Wednesday, Tebogo Mnisi (38) who was arrested in connection with the murders appeared in the Mamelodi Magistrates’ Court.
Mnisi has been charged with two counts of premeditated murder, attempted murder, possession of an illegal firearm and ammunition.

The bereaved family’s spokesperson Edward Moramaga says they are still devastated.
“When we heard about this incident, it evoked strong emotions. We’re having trouble sleeping at night and our emotions are running high. It’s painful, and it’s even more painful because we’re told it was done by one person. We’re asking ourselves how he could take their lives.”
Mnisi is behind bars and has abandoned his bail application.
