Kelebogile Mokoena, who is accused of having paid the three hitmen who executed the murder, was released on R20 000 bail, while Galeboe was released on R10 000. The state says Galeboe was implicated in a statement given by Kelebogile, of which some of the content appears to be disputed by her and defence team, citing some irregularities. The state prosecutor, Johan de Vries, told the court that Galeboe, with an alleged distinct colourful background, has been a regular feature in at least two murder incidents executed similarly than the incident Mokoena fell victim to. He is also alleged to have offered to help the state track down the three alleged hitmen from Vanderbijlpark in Gauteng, later claiming he did so because of threats from the police.

Their bail was attached to certain conditions, which include that the two have to report to their nearest police stations. This matter was postponed to January 17, 2020, for further investigation in the matter.

Galeboe has multiple prior arrests in three different towns in Central South Africa. In one case, a state witness ended up being murdered. The court recently heard that in every arrest he revealed a different address as opposed to what he says is his permanent residential address. State prosecutor De Vries also confronted Galeboe with an alleged confession of his involvement in the murder of a state witness in Stilfontein near Khuma outside Klerksdorp in the North West.
