The Tragic Murder of Gogo Emmie Mandenane Maunye | Nurse accused of mom's murder for R600 000

In March 2025, the quiet village of Buffelshoek in Acornhoek, Mpumalanga, was shattered when beloved 83-year-old Mandenane Emmie Maunye, affectionately known as Gogo Emmie, was found dead in her burned-down home. At first, the tragedy appeared to be an accident—a house fire that claimed the life of an elderly woman.

The community rallied behind her grieving daughter, Portia Moeng, and granddaughter, Lebo Mogopane, who wept the loudest at her funeral. But months later, the shocking truth emerged.

During a separate police investigation in Mbombela, 25-year-old Thapelo Khoza confessed to something far darker: Gogo Emmie’s death was no accident. According to Khoza, he, together with Portia and Lebo, strangled the elderly woman before setting her house on fire to cover up the crime. Their motive? A R600,000 life insurance payout.

This chilling case has left the Acornhoek community stunned, with police warning of a disturbing trend of murders linked to insurance fraud. Portia, Lebo, and Khoza are now facing trial at the Acornhoek Magistrates’ Court, where the truth is still unfolding.
