Families of 2 slain businesswomen happy with police evidence in court

The families of two businesswomen who were shot and killed execution style at the industrial site of Polokwane in Limpopo two months ago say they are happy with police evidence that has transpired at the local magistrate court so far. Police say 46 year old Makwena Mabisela Leshabane and her friend 35 year old Tebogo Mphuthi were followed from Gauteng by four hitmen who subsequently cornered them and shot them while sitting inside their car. Five suspects including the husband of Makwena, Stanley Leshabane were arrested and are applying for bail. Police say the shooting incident was positively captured in a syvilence camera, and cellphone and car trackor network evidence directly put the suspects at the scene of crime. The suspects also alleged confessed that they were hired by Stanley Leshabane (the husband of one of the deceased women) to commit the hit. Two of the suspects are taxi drivers, one is taxi queue marshal while one is an UBER driver in Germiston and Katlegong. We spoke to our reporter Rudzani Tshivhase.
