Pitbull Owner Arrested: Following months of inaction, Mr. Hope Tshepho Mohale, owner of the pitbull that attacked a 2-year-old boy in Mokopane Ext 20 Sekgakgapeng on May 28, 2025, has been apprehended. The attack resulted in permanent damage to the toddler’s right hand. Khomotjo Chabalala, the mother, had opened a case, but police responded seven hours later. The case was subsequently withdrawn by Mokopane Police Station, citing the presence of a wall and cage as justification. The family was forced to cover the child’s medical expenses using the mother’s SASSA grant. The arrest represents a crucial step towards justice for the family.

A GROUP OF DISGRUNTLED WORKERS SPEAK OUT AGAINST VALTERRA PLATINUM MINE

A group of disgruntled former employees of Valterra Platinum Mine, previously contracted through JAQ Trading, have spoken out against their exclusion from the transition process when Sandvik assumed control. These workers were trained directly by Valterra mine, possess relevant skills and qualifications, and have extensive experience serving the mine as locals. However, when Sandvik took over, they were not absorbed, reportedly due to unfair requirements such as a matric certificate, which they argue is irrelevant to their technical skills and experience. The workers have submitted letters to the Valterra Platinum Mine Social Performance Manager, Mr. Sam Makgarimetja, requesting intervention but claim to have been ignored. They are now seeking an explanation for their exclusion, consideration for reemployment based on skill rather than formal education, and that JAQ Trading not be reappointed due to its treatment of workers.

UPDATE: CASE REOPENED | PITBULL NOW IN SPCA CUSTODY

The case of the 2-year-old boy from Mokopane Ext 20, who was viciously mauled by a pitbull on 28 May 2025, has officially been reopened. The matter has also been escalated and reported to the SPCA. We initially tried to engage the dog owner respectfully, but were met with arrogance and denial. As a result, we decided to proceed with legal action.

We call on the Mokopane Police Station and the justice system to take this matter seriously. A child’s life has been permanently affected, and to date, no arrest has been made, nor has the owner offered any form of support to the family. We will not rest until justice is served.

Mokopane Police Station Withdraws Case Following Pitbull Attack on 2-Year-Old Boy

On May 28, 2025, a 2-year-old boy from Mokopane Ext 20 Sekgakgapeng suffered severe injuries from a pitbull attack, resulting in permanent damage to his right hand. Khomotjo Chabalala, the mother, subsequently opened a case; however, the police response was delayed by 7 hours. Months later, Mr. T.M. Kekana investigating officer from Mokopane Police Station informed the mother that the case had been withdrawn, citing the presence of a wall and cage around the dog’s yard as justification. Notably, the pitbull owner has not been arrested, nor have they contributed to the child’s medical expenses, which are now being covered by the mother’s SASSA grant.
