The horrific death of Aletta Bozwana, the mother of the late tycoon Wandile Bozwana, has left her family in shock.
Aletta was allegedly murdered in a robbery that took place in her house in the Northern Cape on Tuesday.
She was killed as her son’s murderers prepared to appear in the Pretoria High Court for sentencing on Wednesday.
Family spokesperson Maviki Bozwana said the family received the news of his mother’s death after her home in Kuruman was robbed.
According to Maviki, the robber was seen by a neighbour who helped Aletta run a shebeen. The neighbour alerted a family member who found Aletta’s body.
Her passing is the fourth brutal death to hit the family, though not associated to others.
“The first was my twin brother in Zeerust in 1997, the second was Wandile, third was our youngest brother who was stabbed to death in a tavern, and the fourth is my mother.
“Her car, identity documents and house keys are missing,” he said.
No arrests have been made.
In June 2022, the court found Vusi Mathibela and co-accused Sipho Hudla, Matamela Mutapa and Bonginkosi Khumalo guilty of Wandile’s murder on the Garsfontein off-ramp in Tshwane in October 2015.
The accused were also found guilty of attempting to kill Wandile’s business partner Mpho Baloyi.
