Aubrey Tau Foundation to donate R250k to family of two murdered Mamelodi women

The Aubrey Tau Foundation said it will be donating R250,000 to the family of two Mamelodi women who were found murdered at the weekend.

Tshiamo, 22 years old, and 21-year-old Baleseng Moramaga were found shot dead in Mamelodi East in the early hours of Sunday morning after a night out.

On Monday, a 38-year-old man was arrested in connection with the murders.

He has also been charged with attempted murder after police discovered another victim who was rushed to hospital.

The foundation had offered the R250,000 reward for any information on the murders.

CEO and founder of TV channel Moja Love, Aubrey Tau, said: "When I saw the story, it was so bad. You felt like this can happen to your family member or someone close to you.

"It can happen to any person. I mean these young kids, they went there to enjoy themselves. Suddenly, they were killed like this. It’s horrible."

He said they will now redirect the funds since a suspect has been arrested.

"We are going to donate it to the family, and it will go a long way with the preparations for the funeral and other things as well. We know it won’t bring those beautiful souls back."
