76-year-old Grandmother Killed by 43-year old Boyfriend

* A 76-year-old grandmother was allegedly stabbed to death by her 43-year-old boyfriend.

* The victim had reported the suspect to police six times previously.

* Family members are urging the court to deny it and prevent further harm.

Gogo Annah Mosibudi Malatji, a 76-year-old grandmother known for her warmth met a brutal end at the hands of her 43-year-old boyfriend in the early hours of Sunday, February 8, 2026, in Rwanda Village, Letsitele, Mopani district.

What began as yet another heated argument escalated into murder, leaving a family shattered and pleading for justice that feels long overdue.

In the dead of night, a neighbor rushed to the home after hearing the commotion.

They found Gogo Annah lying in a pool of blood with multiple stab wounds to her upper body, including a deadly strike to her heart.

Police spokesperson Colonel Malesela Ledwaba confirmed the arrest of the boyfriend, noting the stabbing followed a brief fight and that a knife believed to be the weapon was recovered.

Daily Sun reported the family's anguish, with daughter Beatrice revealing the pattern of abuse.

"Gogo Annah reported the suspect to the police six times before her death but nothing was done to protect her."

The tragedy exposes the deadly risks in unequal relationships where age gaps and power imbalances fuel violence, often dismissed until it's too late.

Gogo Annah, a beloved elder who nurtured her community, sought safety repeatedly but died in the place meant for love. Her family trembles at the thought of her killer walking free.

Beatrice and relatives plead with the court not to grant bail.

"They are living in fear because he might get bail and come after them."
