How Meswele Survived Ex-Husband's Hitmen

Monday, February 26, 2018

Enerst Legwale, 43 is alleged to have hired two hitmen to kill his wife, Dimpho Meswele, rather than go through with the divorce. But the alleged hired hitmen mistakenly killed Dimpho’s sister, Thato Meswele, 35, in September 2015.

The 39-year old Dimpho Meswele, a teacher at Naledi Senior Secondary School and Legwale met back in 2006 and in 2008 they tied the knot, but their marriage did not last as they divorced barely seven years after the marriage.

Meswele filed for divorce in June 2015 as her marriage had already collapsed as her husband had deserted their matrimonial home. Legwale refused to sign the divorce papers, allegedly because of the house that Meswele was still paying as she had taken a mortgage to build it.
