7 October 2025- The Moral Regeneration Movement (MRM) in the North West on Tuesday condemned the gruesome murder of a woman (48) who was brutally murdered and hacked with a spade by her son (25) at Mosiane View village, near Mahikeng. MRM described the circulation of the video of the Saturday incident, which has gone viral on social media showing Morgan Nchwe dragging Ntebogang Nchwe’s lifeless body outside and hacking her in broad daylight as an irresponsible and despicable display of moral decay that is bound to deepen generational trauma.
The convenor of the MRM Provincial Interim Committee, Pastor Lesiba Kgwele, highlighted that: “This has undoubtedly left scores of neighbours and those who witnessed the heinous and ghastly act of gender-based violence and parricide including relatives of the deceased reeling with shock as well as in need of urgent trauma counselling.
“The family and community are socializing units that should always strive to inspire as well as create the moral and ethical values that enhance the spirit of Ubuntu. We welcome the investigation by the South African Police Service Occult Related Crimes Unit, as well as the swift intervention of the Provincial Department of Social Development (DSD) which has deployed officials to investigate circumstances surrounding the incident and offer psychosocial support services.”
Kgwele further said the preliminary investigation suggests that drugs might have been involved in what is believed to have been an ongoing abusive relationship between the single mother and her son. He added that the escalation of violent behaviour within the household and its progression to reach such unacceptable demonic level is a cause for great concern.
“The traumatic incident also has the hallmark of satanism as the son had reportedly cut out her mom’s heart and eaten it before he was stoned by residents and ultimately shot by a member of the community at the chaotic crime scene.
“We convey condolences to the bereaved Nchwe family and declared that MRM will partner with the North West MEC for Social Development, Sussana Dantjie, Kgosi Chris Mosiane including the Banogeng Clan, Mahikeng Ministers Fellowship, local churches as well as pastors, NGO’s s such as Angels of Tomorrow, Men For Real including Mahikeng Local Municipality, for a community dialogue, prayer and counselling service to be held in the area on Thursday afternoon,” said Kgwele.
