According to police spokesperson Motantsi Makhele, Mokhosi was seen with the victim the night before the person’s death, near a tavern in Thabong. It is alleged that the victim robbed Mokhosi of his cellphone, and is thus deemed a person of interest to the police.

At the time of the death, Mokhosi lived in Putswastene in Thabong, with police adding they have been unable to locate him – nor anyone who might know of his whereabouts. According to Makhele, no arrests have been made in connection to the death.

‘’On Sunday 17 November 2019, at about 21:30,a complaint was received by Thabong police about a man lying on the ground at Thulwane cemetery, in Thabong. On arrival, police found a man who had sustained multiple stab wounds. An ambulance was called and the man was certified dead at the scene. He was later identified as Vuyisile Walter Lesoma,’’ said Makhele.

Warrant Officer Gerrie Nel of Thabong Detective Unit, who is the investigating officer in this case, requests the community to contact him on the following number 057 910 2362 should they have any information on Mokhosi’s whereabouts.
