A 76-year-old grandmother, Annah Mosibudi Malatji, was allegedly stabbed to death by her 43-year-old boyfriend in Rwanda Village, Letsitele, located in the Mopani district of Limpopo, South Africa. The tragic incident occurred in the early hours of Sunday, February 8, 2026, as reported by Daily Sun SA over the weekend.
Neighbor Discovers Victim After Hearing Argument

Upon arrival, the neighbor found Gogo Annah lying in a pool of blood with multiple stab wounds on her upper body. The scene was described as horrific, highlighting the brutal nature of the attack.
Family Alleges Repeated Police Complaints Ignored
The family has revealed that Gogo Annah reported the suspect to the police six times before her death, but no action was taken to protect her. This alleged inaction has raised serious concerns about the effectiveness of law enforcement in addressing domestic violence cases, particularly involving vulnerable elderly individuals.
Fear of Retaliation and Plea to the Court
