According to the police, Kgosi Moiloa was killed yesterday, Friday, 1st January 2016, in an apparent hit-and-run accident in Dinokana village.

Extending the Provincial Government’s deepest condolence to the family, relative, friends and colleagues of Kgosi Moiloa, Premier Mahumapelo said Kgosi Moiloa’s death is a great loss not only to the family and Dinokana community which he led, but also to the Provincial House of Traditional Leaders and the people of Bokone Bophirima Province.

We pray for the bereaved family to find peace and comfort during this difficult time. May his soul rest in peace,” said Premier Mahumapelo, who also thanked members of the community who helped the police in tracking down the driver of the vehicle.
