A murder and attempted case against the former owner of Meat Brother Pub, Tshwaro Mangwegape (41), has been postponed by the Taung Regional Court until 7 August 2024, for further investigations. Mangwegape, who is out on R5000 bail, briefly appeared at Taung Regional Court on Monday.
He is accused of shooting and killing the NWU Soccer Institute player, Undivile “Vilo” Mdi (28) and injuring his friend, Aobakwe Ernest Kokwe (33) on 17 December 2023. Mdi and Kokwe were amongst patrons who visited the establishment that was full to capacity on a fateful day.
It is alleged that the security guards refused entry to patrons who did not have Identification Documents (IDs) and that led to a stampede. Mdi and Kokowe allegedly tried to gain entry forcefully, but Mangwegape allegedly pulled out a gun and shot at them.
Mdi was fatally shot, while his friend was rushed to the hospital with terrible gunshot wounds.
Meanwhile, the state is still waiting for the ballistic test results.
