Tebogo Thobejane shooting case postponed to March 31! The trial related to the shooting incident involving actress Tebogo Thobejane has been postponed to March 31 at the Alexandra Magistrate’s Court.
On Tuesday, Tebogo appeared in court as two suspects accused of the crime were remanded in custody. The case, which has been ongoing since last year, has left the actress frustrated as she awaits justice.
The 2023 Shooting Incident
The horrifying incident took place in October 2023, when unknown attackers opened fire on Thobejane’s car as she was leaving Saints Champagne Lounge in Sandton. She was accompanied by a friend and their driver at the time.
The attackers pulled up beside their vehicle and fired multiple shots, critically injuring Tebogo’s friend, who spent over a month in the hospital. The actress was fortunate to escape unharmed, but her friend has since suffered permanent injuries, including difficulty walking and numbness in her legs.
Following an investigation, police arrested the two suspects in April 2023. However, the slow pace of the case has left Thobejane and those close to her frustrated.
Tebogo’s Frustration Over Delays
A source close to Tebogo revealed that the actress feels the case is dragging on for too long and wants the culprits to be held accountable.
“Tebza [Tebogo] feels the matter is taking too long, and the culprits need to account,” said the source.
Another insider mentioned that the trial has taken an emotional toll on the actress.
“During court proceedings, Tebogo was not present in court. We know that the matter has affected her deeply. She just wants this to be concluded—she’s frustrated by the slow pace.”

Tebogo Speaks Out on Social Media
Taking to her Instagram Stories, Tebogo expressed her determination to fight for justice and her frustration over gender-based violence.
“Every day, we are told to be silent. We are told not to speak out, not to show our pain if we are victims — to hide. In this country, at this moment, as women, we are constantly told to be quiet, as if it’s our fault that people choose to hurt us,” she wrote.
The actress strongly condemned violence against women, calling out men who attempt to harm or control women.
“Any man who tries to a woman is a coward. It is heartbreaking that South Africa has reached a point where, if we are not being slut-shamed, we are being attacked—simply because some men refuse to take responsibility for their actions. When they can’t control us, they try to destroy us. But I refuse to be afraid. I refuse to give up on my life. No coward will ever break me.”

Public Reaction and Call for Justice

Gender-based violence remains a serious issue in South Africa, and Thobejane’s case has once again highlighted the urgent need for stricter laws to protect women from violence.
Activists and fans have rallied behind the actress, expressing their support and solidarity in her fight for justice. Many are demanding faster legal proceedings to ensure that perpetrators face the full force of the law.
