Soldier still missing after wife’s brutal killing
Police are still searching for Major Amogelang Nyambe, 43, a soldier stationed at Glen Valley Camp, following the violent death of his wife, Lebogang Nyambe, 42, whose body was discovered more than two weeks ago in the Kgatleng District.
Lebogang, originally from Palapye, was laid to rest last Wednesday at Phomolong Cemeteries. Her burial took place in the absence of her husband, whose whereabouts remain unknown.
Authorities say the circumstances surrounding the incident remain unclear, leaving the family, community, and the nation grappling with unanswered questions.
Mochudi Police Station commander, Superintendent Joel Masilo, confirmed that officers were alerted after a passerby reported an abandoned vehicle near Rasesa village. Inside, a woman was found critically injured.
“We were informed that there was a vehicle parked in the bushes and that a woman was inside, appearing to have very serious and severe injuries,” Masilo said.
Police rushed to the scene and discovered the victim with stab wounds. She was taken to Deborah Retief Memorial Hospital, where she was later pronounced dead.
Investigators suspect foul play, noting that the injuries point to a violent attack. Lebogang was last seen alive in the company of her husband on the same day she died. The couple had been using the
same vehicle in which her body was later found.
“Up to now, we are still not sure what has happened to the husband, what state he is in, or where he could be,” Masilo said.
Police have since launched a full-scale operation to locate Major Nyambe and are appealing to members of the public for information that could help unravel the mystery.
Friends and acquaintances described Lebogang as a loving, soft-spoken, and church-going woman whose death has left a deep void in the community.
