A case against ex-boyfriend Kibi Josias Leboho has been postponed to May 26, 2021 following a short appearance at the Polokwane Magistrates Court on alleged murder charges.

It is said that the 34 years Leboho allegedly shot and killed his former girlfriend, 32 years old Tshepo Rakoma in the parking area at a Shoprite Supermarket at the corner of Grobler and Landross Mare streets in Polokwane.

NPA Spokesperson in the area Mashudu Malabi-Dzangi said that Rakoma’s body was found inside a motor in the parking area with multiple bullet wounds.

“Leboho went to the third floor of the nearby building and threatened to kill himself. He was later arrested by the police who recovered on him a firearm believed to have been used in the murder. It belonged to a taxi owner.”

Mashudu added that the taxi owner is also said to appear in court on July 13, 2021 on firearm negligence.
