Mamelodi, 27 October 2025 — A night of dancing, laughter, and flashing lights has turned into a chilling mystery that has gripped South Africa. The Moramaga cousins, Tshiamo (22) and Baleseng (21), were filmed “dancing the night away” at a popular tavern in Mahube Valley, Mamelodi East — hours before they were found shot dead in the early hours of Sunday morning.
But now, a new video has surfaced online — and it’s raising even more disturbing questions.
The footage, reportedly taken minutes before the shooting, shows the two young women dancing closely with several men inside the crowded club. One man, wearing a green cap, appears to make a hand gesture toward the women — a subtle but urgent “warning move” that has sent social media into a frenzy.
“Please check the warning move from the guy in the green cap!” one user posted on X (formerly Twitter). “It’s like he saw danger coming. Look at how he’s trying to tell them to move away.”
In the video, the cousins can be seen laughing, unaware of the tension building in the background. Within hours, both were dead — Tshiamo shot in the head, and Baleseng shot in the chest — allegedly by Tshiamo’s boyfriend, identified as 38-year-old tavern bouncer Tebogo Mnisi.
Mnisi was arrested on Monday at a Pretoria filling station following a coordinated police operation. He remains in custody and will appear in the Mamelodi Magistrate’s Court on Wednesday, facing two counts of murder and one of attempted murder.
According to investigators, the killings took place shortly after 2am on Sunday in Extension 17, Mahube Valley, where residents later discovered the cousins’ bodies lying on the street.
A third person who was with them survived the attack and is recovering in hospital.
The Chilling Lead-Up
Earlier in the evening, the cousins were seen at the tavern enjoying what appeared to be a normal night out. Eyewitnesses say the mood shifted suddenly when Mnisi arrived at the venue.
“He looked angry. You could see it on his face,” one patron said. “He kept staring at them from the corner. People were saying they had an argument earlier that day.”
Another witness recalled hearing raised voices near the parking lot. “He told her, ‘You will make me do something I’ll regret,’ and then he walked out. After that, the music kept playing like nothing happened.”
Hours later, gunshots shattered the calm of the early morning.
The WhatsApp Message
Before her death, Tshiamo sent a short, cryptic WhatsApp message to a friend that now forms part of the investigation:
“Tlaa go Tebogo ashuu wa actor moh” — (“Come, Tebogo is acting up.”)
The message was sent just before midnight. By sunrise, both she and Baleseng were gone.
Viral Shock
The footage of the cousins dancing — now paired with the newly released clip showing the “green cap warning” — has spread rapidly across social media. South Africans have flooded timelines with shock, sadness, and speculation.
“Who are these guys dancing with those two Mamelodi girls in the club?” one post read. “Another video has been released, and it’s chilling.”
“It looks like someone tried to warn them,” another user wrote. “Maybe he knew the boyfriend was there and was about to lose control.”
The “guy in the green cap” has since become a focal point online, with users zooming in on his every move — his hand gesture, his expression, and the moment he steps away as the cousins continue dancing. Police have not yet confirmed whether he is being sought for questioning.
‘They Were Full of Life’
Family members have described the cousins as inseparable, saying they grew up together “like twins.”
“They loved music, dancing, and fashion,” said Itumeleng Moramaga, Tshiamo’s mother. “They were happy girls. My daughter was studying beauty therapy, and Baleseng was doing education at Unisa. They didn’t deserve this.”
When Itumeleng arrived at the scene, she said her heart broke.
“They were already inside the forensic van. I asked to see them. That’s when I saw my daughter’s face… she had been shot in the head.”
A Community in Anger
The killings have left Mamelodi East shaken and furious. Hours after news of the murders broke, enraged residents stormed Mnisi’s house and set it on fire, accusing him of being responsible.
“We can’t keep living like this,” said a local resident. “Every weekend it’s another woman killed by a man she trusted. Enough is enough.”
The Bigger Picture
The Soil of Africa Civic Movement has condemned the killings and called for immediate police patrols around nightlife spots in the township.
“The pattern is the same — arguments, alcohol, and women dying,” said spokesperson Thabo Machete. “This is not just a domestic issue; it’s a national crisis.”
According to SAPS data, one woman is killed every three hours in South Africa, often by a current or former partner.
What Happens Next
Police say the investigation is ongoing and that several digital clues — including videos, WhatsApp messages, and CCTV footage from the tavern — are being analysed to piece together the final hours of the cousins’ lives.
Captain Tintswalo Sibeko, spokesperson for the Gauteng police, confirmed that the case remains a top priority.
“We have the suspect in custody, and all leads are being followed,” Sibeko said. “We urge the public to refrain from spreading unverified information while the investigation continues.”
As the cousins’ families prepare for a joint funeral, the haunting videos continue to circulate — reminders of two young women whose laughter and energy filled the room just hours before they were silenced.
At the centre of it all remains that mysterious warning gesture — a fleeting moment caught on camera, now frozen in time, that South Africans can’t stop watching or asking about.
Was it a sign? Was it a missed chance to escape?
For now, the truth lies somewhere between the music, the lights, and the gunfire that ended two bright lives in Mamelodi.
