Botswana Police assistant commissioner Dipheko Motube stated that the trio was arrested during the ongoing Operation Kgomokhumo.  He noted that Motlhabani Kebalepile aged 42 years, his son Mpho Teleko, 24, and their close relative Othabile Teleko, also 24, were all from Boipelo ward in Gasegwagwa village in Southern District. 

He said they were arrested on January 9, 2019 after they failed to satisfactorily account for the 10 donkeys found in their possession. The donkeys, allegedly stolen at Gasegwagwa Pan and Morebodi lands, were taken between last December and this January where the accused persons kept them at their respective farms in Ga-Mmampa and Mogapinyana lands in the surrounding areas of Gasegwagwa village.
