Two learners from Lesedi Secondary School appeared briefly at the Bronkhorstspruit Magistrate’s Court on Friday, charged with the premeditated murder of fellow pupil, Lethabo Mokonyane.
The accused, Mlehalinye Montasi, 20, a Grade 12 learner, and Kgotlhello Mathabathe, 19, a Grade 10 learner, allegedly ambushed Mokonyane on June 17, 2025, shortly after he completed his exams.
“It is alleged that on 17 June 2025, the deceased was at school after writing exams. While on his way to the gate, he met the two accused persons who started fighting with him,” said Gauteng National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) spokesperson Lumka Mahanjana.
“One of the accused persons apprehended him while the other stabbed him with a sharp object twice in the stomach and on his back. Thereafter, they ran away.”
Mokonyane was rushed to hospital but died a few hours later due to the injuries.
The suspects face a schedule six offence, which means the court will require them to provide exceptional circumstances to be granted bail.
Their next appearance is set for July 7, 2025, for a formal bail application.
“The state intends to oppose their release on bail,” Mahanjana confirmed.
The National Prosecuting Authority said it will continue to work with law enforcement to ensure justice is served for Mokonyane and his family.
