TSHWANE, GAUTENG — The man who survived the brutal shooting at Mamelodi East, Tshwane, which took place on 26 October 2025, has spoken up. He said that God intervened and saved his life.
According to Eyewitness News, he was with Tshiamo and Baleseng Moramaga when the shooting took place. He and the two women got into an argument with the suspect, who was allegedly Tshiamo's boyfriend.
The build-up before the shooting
Senong said that he was at a shishanyama in Mamelodi when he bumped into the Moramaga cousins. He said that Mnisi was allegedly watching them while they danced. Tshiamo later stood with Mnisi. He called out to her, and Tebogo told him that he was making a noise. Paying him no mind, he left the shisanyama with Baleseng.

The survivor and Baleseng walked through Mamelodi as they continued their night out. Mnisi, who was riding with Tshiamo, stopped them. He parked on the side of the road, allegedly produced his gun, and started shooting. He was shot in the private parts, and he escaped. When he arrived home, he was taken to the hospital.
“I just saw him open the door and cock the gun,” he said.
