Mamelodi, South Africa – Desmond Senong, a Mamelodi man, is recovering in the hospital after being shot during a tragic incident that claimed the lives of two women in Mamelodi East. The incident occurred over the weekend, and Senong, along with Baleseng and Tshiamo Moramaga, were shot by Tebogo Mnisi, who allegedly acted out of jealousy.
The Tragic Incident
Senong, who was enjoying a night out with the two women at a local shisanyama, had no idea that one of the women’s boyfriends, later identified as Tebogo Mnisi, was allegedly watching them jealously. As Senong and Baleseng were walking through the streets of Mamelodi around 2:30 am on Sunday, Mnisi confronted them. According to Senong’s account, Mnisi immediately stopped them, swore at him, and shot him twice in the private parts.
Senong, in an interview with EWN, expressed that his life may never be the same after the traumatic experience. “I started running away and bumped into some guys who were sitting in a Polo. I told them I had been shot and asked them for help, but they drove away. I think they were also scared because they heard the gunshots.”

On Wednesday, Tebogo Mnisi appeared briefly in Mamelodi Magistrate’s Court to face charges, and he abandoned bail. The case has garnered attention, and authorities are continuing to investigate the shooting.
