A Limpopo judge has described a pastor who murdered a businesswoman and then tried to mislead police as to who the murderer was as an evil man who hides behind the pulpit as well as a wolf disguised in a sheep skin.
Ngwako Elvis Selowa-Makhotoka, a businessman and a pastor at Jesus Christ Grace Ministries in Kuranta village, Bolobedu, pretended that he had car problems, and when 42-year-old Thabiso Lethube Masie got out of her vehicle to help him, she was met with a hail of bullets.
The 31-year-old man then went on the run for two months before he was arrested.
Slapping him with a life sentence in the Polokwane High Court on Thursday, Judge Maake Francis Kganyago said Selowa-Makhotoka knew Masie very well and killed her after carefully planning and executing her murder.
On August 7 2021, Selowa-Makhotoka and his friend went to a tavern to buy some beers.
According to spokesperson for the Limpopo National Prosecuting Authority, Mashudu Malabi-Dzhangi, on their return to Selowa-Makhotoka’s home he told his friend that he had a job to do.
At the time, Selowa-Makhotoka had a gun on him, she said.
Malabi-Dzhangi said Selowa-Makhotoka knew that Masie would be passing by very soon, so he stopped his car, got out and pretended that their vehicle had a mechanical failure.
