Heartbreaking images of Tshiamo Moramaga, 22, and her cousin Baleseng Moramaga, 21, have emerged, showing their vibrant personalities just hours before their untimely deaths.
The two cousins, who shared a bond like sisters, were shot dead shortly after a night out with friends, leaving their family and community in shock and mourning.
Both were university students sharing a rented room — Tshiamo studying beauty therapy and Baleseng pursuing a degree in education. Known for their lively spirits and close friendship, they were often seen laughing and enjoying life together.
On the night of October 25, the cousins went out with friends, unaware that tragedy awaited them. Witnesses reported seeing them in good spirits, enjoying their evening. However, the next morning, both were found with gunshot wounds to the head.
Tshiamo’s mother, Itumeleng Moramaga, shared her heartbreak, recalling that just hours earlier, Tshiamo had visited her to help with a hairstyle for an upcoming event.
“She just said the kids got hurt,” Itumeleng recalled, describing the panic she felt when she received the call. Upon arrival, her worst fears were confirmed: her daughter and niece had been killed.
Neighbors reported hearing gunshots around 4 a.m., followed by an eerie silence. Some witnesses mentioned hearing Tshiamo arguing with her boyfriend shortly before the attack.
A message on Baleseng’s phone indicated the cousins had been in contact moments before the shooting, though Tshiamo’s phone went missing, possibly taken during the incident.
The shocking loss has left the family grappling with profound grief, as the community mourns the lives of two young women full of promise.
