It is reported during the night of 29 April 2017 Charles Bonongo (29), Olebogeng Motswagole (19) and Gift Thonkonyane (30) broke into Motshwarakgole\u2019s tavern in Dithakong village near Kuruman and stole alcohol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The three men were tracked down by the accused and were found with the alleged stolen liquor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Brig. Mohale Ramatseba, police spokesperson, says the men were taken to the tavern where they were forced, at gunpoint, to drink liquor laced with poison.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They managed to escape. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Motswagole and Thonkonyane managed to get help and were admitted to hospital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, Bonongo collapsed while they were fleeing from the accused. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
His body was found on the morning of 30 April near the tavern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The district commander of the John Taolo Gaetsewe District, Maj. Gen. Johan Bean, applauded the investigating officer, Sgt Obakeng Shadrack Masite, for his investigation into the case that led to the lengthy sentence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bean warned community members not to take law into their own hands and urged them to report every criminal activity to the police.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The provincial commissioner of the Northern Cape, Lt. Gen. Risimati Peter Shivuri, has also welcomed life imprisonment given to the couple and their daughter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

It has a long-standing history of serving the community with news and information pertinent to the region. The newspaper, distributed in the capital and more than 20 towns, is also read online in other parts of the vast province, and has been an important source of information for residents of the Northern Cape. The publication is geared towards Afrikaans and English-speaking readers, with the content reflecting the cultural diversity of the province. Like the other regional newspapers in South Africa, NoordkaapBulletin has had to adapt to changing media landscapes, including the rise of digital news platforms. However, it remains a significant part of the media landscape in the Northern Cape, helping to keep communities informed and connected.","email":"noordkaapbulletin@novusmedia.co.za","telephone":"+27514047600","legalName":"Novus Media (Pty)
