The former Meat Brothers Pub owner, Tshwaro Mangwegape (41), who is out on R5000 bail, will be back in court today. Mangwegape is accused of shooting and killing the NWU Soccer Institute player, Undivile “Vilo” Mdi (28) and injured 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.
Mangwegape’s case was postponed, while the state is still waiting for ballistic test results.
