#MokoenaMurder: Wife to stand trial

#MokoenaMurder: Wife to stand trial | News Article

The wife of slain Bloemfontein farmer and businessman Lucas Mokoena will stand trial in March 2021.


Charged with murdering her husband, Kelebogile Mokoena, will now stand trial for at least two weeks from 1-12 March 2021. She and her alleged lover pastor, Elvis Galeboe, who was shot and killed on 30 December 2019, allegedly organised a hit on her husband who was executed in Fichardt Park on 8 July 2019.  During their bail application in 2019, the court heard that Galeboe was the first person who Mokoena called about the incident. OFM News previously reported that the Director for Public Prosecutions (DPP) had directed that Kelebogile must stand trial in the High Court.

The state alleges Kelebogile paid R10 000 to three hitmen from Vanderbijlpark in Gauteng at Twin City Mall in Heidedal. During the bail hearing, Kelebogile's legal representative argued that the content of her confession made to the police is not a true reflection of her version. She and her attorney said certain paragraphs in her alleged confession document is questionable and somehow create the impression that police may have erred in obtaining a statement from the accused. Mokoena is out on bail of R20 000 while Galeboe was out on bail of R10 000 after their arrest in July and August 2019 for their alleged involvement in his murder.

Nobody has been arrested for the murder of Galeboe yet.
