 A Limpopo man who stabbed his girlfriend to death in front of his own mother will spend the next 20 years in prison. The Polokwane High Court sentenced 48 year old Nathaniel Molatelo Mokgehle from Sekonye Village in the Botlokwa policing area for the murder of his girlfriend, 41 year old Mokgadi Julia Mohlaela. The court heard he chased her out of the house and continued stabbing her until she collapsed and died. Mokgehle also received six months for malicious damage to property. The sentence will run at the same time as the 20 year murder sentence. Evidence presented in court showed the victim had previously opened a malicious damage to property case against him. He was still attending court for that case when the murder happened. The attack happened on 08 June 2025 around 16:00 at his mother’s home in Sekonye Village.

 Fuel Levy a betrayal after fare reduction – GPRTU accuses government


The Ghana Private Road Transport Union (GPRTU) has voiced strong dissatisfaction with the government over its recent decision to increase the Energy Sector Levy by GH₵1 per litre of fuel, describing it as a betrayal, particularly following an agreed 15% reduction in transport fares.


According to the Union, the timing of the levy hike is deeply troubling, especially as it comes just days after drivers across the country implemented the fare cut.


The GPRTU has since issued a warning that it may stage a nationwide strike should the government fail to address the issue by 10 June 2025.


Speaking on Citi FM on Thursday, 5 June, the Union’s Industrial Relations Officer, Abass Imoro, condemned the lack of transparency in the government’s dealings.


He said the authorities failed to disclose their intentions during fare negotiation meetings, which, in his view, was highly deceptive.


“They knew very well that they had this under their sleeves, and yet we sat with them, engaged in talks about the 15% fare reduction, and reached a consensus,” Mr Imoro lamented.


“It is extremely painful because had we known this was coming, we would have taken a different stance. The reduction wouldn’t have been as deep.”


Mr Imoro further criticised the absence of consultation, especially given the central role drivers play in fuel consumption.


He insisted the levy increase not only erodes the impact of the fare reduction but also worsens the financial burden on drivers.


“We are major players in the fuel sector, and it is only fair that government engages us before taking such decisions,” he said.
