The victims were Kegomodicoe and Keabecoe Lekone, both 52. They were twin brothers and the owners of the Ekhayeni Lounge Bar in Bochabela, Bloemfontein. They were killed on Wednesday, 21 October 2026.
According to police, the brothers were not shot inside the tavern. They were ambushed while sitting inside their charcoal-coloured Ford Ranger at the gate of a premises on Ramatsoele Street. Police received a report of a shooting in progress at about 08:51 and arrived on the scene around 09:00. Both men had gunshot wounds and were declared dead at the scene by ER24 paramedics.
A witness inside a double-storey building on the property heard gunshots from upstairs. When the witness rushed outside, they saw an African male running towards a white Chevrolet Aveo hatchback. The car sped off. Police believe there may have been two other occupants already inside the getaway vehicle.
