Tsametse allegedly killed Ofentse in order to claim P50,000 from the Botswana Life where he had insured his little cousin. The then 16-year-old Ofentse's lifeless body was found in the vicinity of Mogoditshane Senior Secondary School in March 2018 after disappearing with no trace. Tsametse would be arrested, questioned, let go, and arrested again seven days later, thanks to two Mogoditshane-based traditional healers. The first seer to take the stand was Kamogelo Keitholetse, widely known as Rabeisane following his much publicised participation in the hunt for little Tlotlo Karema in Lobatse last year. Even though there were inconsistencies in their statements, Keitholetse’s colleague Lemogang Rukuyo also reiterated Keitholetse’s statement that Tsametse had told them he had killed someone. After the first few witnesses took the stand, it was time for Keitholetse.
He told the court of how Tsametse came to his house all distraught and unsettled seeking for his help. “Tsametse came to me and told me he needed my help. He kept on saying eish!, eish! a lot of times and I told him he could talk to me since I was also a man. We moved close to a car where he told me he had killed a person. I asked him if he had reported to the police but he said no. I asked him how I could help while he never reported and he said he wanted to kill the case because the police are looking for him,” he said. Keitholetse said he offered to assist with what he wanted for P1,500. He said Tsametse then had P1,000 and left saying he was going to look for P500 only for him to return after four days. Keitholetse told court that Rukuyo joined him while they were standing by the car with the suspect and was told about the assistance Tsametse needed.
