What happened to Itumeleng Mosoeu?
Mosoeu, a prominent figure in Pretoria’s Bacardi music scene, was gunned down in the wee hours of Sunday, 29 January 2023, outside a popular hangout venue in Soshanguve.
According to information collected by investigators thus far, the 34-year-old was with friends outside a tavern in Soshanguve Extension 13 when he was allegedly lured to a car that was parked across the road.
In a statement, police spokesperson Colonel Dimakatso Sello revealed that Vusi’s friends suddenly heard multiple gunshots ringing from the car “and when they went to investigate [they] found the victim lying on the ground.”
Vusi Ma R5’s murder is still the subject of an intense investigation. However, at this time, police have yet to arrest a suspect. Therefore, it’s presumed the persons involved in the murder of Mosoeu are still at large and considered armed and dangerous.
