Heartwater murders: Black woman believed to be the mastermind

 

Kgomotso Mpumlwana (42) who is believed to be the mastermind of the July 2020 incident in which Dan and Breggie Brand and their daughter, Elzabie Brand, were kidnapped and killed from their smallholding outside Hartswater, locked the stolen mobile phones and laptops in her room, took some of herself on one of the stolen mobile phones and ordered that one of the stolen cars be washed before selling

This is indicative of her leadership role in the gruesome killings, public prosecutor Adv. Mary-Ann Engelbrecht put it to Mpumlwana in cross-examination in the High Court in Kimberley on Monday, May 20.

Engelbrecht alleges Mpumlwana drove the car and brought her defectors to a traditional healer for a ritual to keep the sale of Elzabie’s stolen Mazda CX5 car running smoothly.

According to the state, Dan, 83, Breggie, 76, and Elzabie, 54, were assaulted, kidnapped and killed on a smallholding outside Hartswater on July 26, 2020. They were last seen at their home around 13:00 and reported missing the next day. Several belongings and two cars, a red Nissan Micra and the silver Mazda, were missing

Police arrested the suspects found in the Mazda on the N18 route the night after their disappearance. The red Nissan was discovered abandoned in a quarry. Realeboga Manyedi, half-brother of Tshepo Visagie, later became a state witness and pointed out the bodies.

Dan and Elzabie’s bodies were found in the field, still with their hands and feet tied and covered in rags, and Breggie, wrapped in a duvet, in a rock crevice by a fountain.

Mpumlwana, from Rooiwal near Taung, co-accused are Donald Seolesang, 21, and Visagie, 36, both from Majaneng; and Tsepoane Melato, 20, of Pudimoe.

They are each charged with three counts of murder, robbery with aggravating circumstances, kidnapping and obstruction of justice. They allegedly hid the bodies in the field around Taung to cover up the killings. Seolesang is also charged with escape, and Visagie of pledging a laptop and mobile phone that belonged to a deceased person.

Involvement consistently denied

Mpumlwana, who as before was exquisitely dressed and groped, has consistently denied her involvement in the witness stand. Later, with questions raining down on her, she irritably took off her long, false eyelashes and stuffed them into a jacket pocket.

In her main testimony, Mpumlwana argued that the day of the murders, she found Seolesang, her grand-nephew, and three unknown men at her home. They wanted to charge cell phones and laptops with her. One of the children she was caring for took a picture of her with one of the cell phones, which she was about.

So she locked one cell phone and one computer in her room. The deceased’s bank cards were also later found on top of her closet. She denied ever seeing a laptop bag or handbag of the deceased.

Meanwhile, she asked Seolesang if she could borrow the car, believed to belong to Visagie, to fetch other children, and told the men to wash the dusty car.

They went to pour in fuel and then went to the traditional healer where Seolesang wanted to consult him. On their way to pick up the children, they were stopped and arrested by the police.

In cross-examination, Mpumlwana said she did not know why the phone with her picture on it was found in her possession with her arrest. She just had her own phone on her. It was not strange to her that she was handing out orders to wash a car that did not belong to her.

Adv. Engelbrecht put it to her that the car had already been washed the day before, but it was of vital importance to Mpumlwana that it should be clean to be sold. The car was smeared with the victims’ blood, according to the state.

She denied that she would tell her brother and a woman who were with the traditional healer, respectively, that she was going to sell the car, and that it was white people a.

Mpumlwana denies tweaking her testimony to fit her version, coming up with new facts or contradicting herself and her accomplices. According to her, she did not take the photo of herself with one of the deceased’s phones at all.

The trial continues
