Case against footballer Shaune Mogaila postponed to May

JOHANNESBURG – Footballer Shaune Mogaila’s culpable homicide case has been postponed in the Tembisa Magistrates Court.
 
The Sekhukhune United player was behind the wheel of a car when it crashed into another vehicle in Tembisa in 2024.
 
A nine-year-old child died in the accident, while another person sustained serious injuries.
 
In October 2024, Mogaila crashed his car into Keo Mavimbela’s vehicle. She was travelling with her nine-year-old daughter and their 13-year-old neighbour.

Mogaila allegedly fled the scene after the crash while his car was found with alcohol and cannabis.
 
He is facing an additional charge of reckless driving and fleeing the scene.
 
Mogaila later turned himself over to authorities and is currently out on bail.
 
On Tuesday, State prosecutor advocate Xolani Khumalo requested a postponement for outstanding documents.
 
“The State requests a remand your worship for outstanding report and J88, we therefore request a further remand as the court pleases.”
 
The case was postponed to 19 May 2025.
