 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. Mohlaela had gone there to speak with his mother about ending the relationship because of alleged abuse. During the confrontation, Mokgehle pulled out a knife and ...

On 31 July 2025, the Naphuno Magistrate Court in Maake, Tzaneen, sentenced 39-year-old pastor Confidence Monyela to multiple terms of imprisonment, including two life sentences, for the rape of several minors aged 14 to 17. The crimes, committed between 2016 and 2017, have led to a ruling that has effectively locked Monyela behind bars with no prospect of release.


Monyela, who was 31 at the time of the offenses, lured his victims to his church under the pretense of evening spiritual sermons. After praying with the minors, he raped them and threatened them with divine retribution, claiming the “Holy Spirit would kill them” if they spoke out. 


He then drove the victims back to their residences to maintain the facade of normalcy.

In August 2017, one courageous victim confided in a social worker, who alerted the victim’s parents. This led to the Maake police opening five rape cases. The Tracking Team swiftly apprehended Monyela within the precinct. 


Sergeant Klaas Mulungwa of the Tzaneen Family Violence, Child Protection, and Sexual Offenses (FCS) Unit led the investigation, which culminated in the court’s decision.

Initially granted R15,000 bail, Monyela’s freedom ended on July 31, 2025, when the court delivered its verdict:


•  Count 1 - Rape: Life Imprisonment

•  Count 2 - Rape: Life Imprisonment

•  Count 3 - Rape: 10 Years

•  Count 4 - Rape: 10 Years

•  Count 5 - Rape: 10 Years

•  Count 6 - Sexual Assault: 5 Years


Per Section 280 of Act 51 of 1977, the sentences for counts 3, 4, 5, and 6 will run concurrently with the life imprisonment imposed in Count 1, ensuring Monyela remains incarcerated for life. Additionally, the court declared him unfit to possess a firearm.


The ruling has brought closure to the victims and their families, while sending a strong message against sexual violence, particularly by those in positions of trust.
