The matriarch of the family, a 68-year-old retired primary school deputy head, Elizabeth Ramolala and her two grandchildren, Katlego Ramolala, 17, and nine-year-old Alefa Ramolala, were shot and killed in their home in the early hours of February 25, 2025.

Lance Corporal Moagi Mokomeng, a Botswana Defence Force (BDF) soldier well known to the family, allegedly opened fire on them and later set their house on fire, with the deceased still inside.
