Makgotso “Gogo Maweni” Mofokeng was released on R5 000 bail after making an appearance at the Protea Magistrate’s Court in Soweto on Monday ,27 January 2025.

Mofokeng was arrested on 19 January 2025 in connection with an assault incident that happened in 2019. She is facing charges of assault with the intent to cause grievous bodily harm for allegedly hitting the cousin of her third child’s father and striking her lip with a bottle.

Mafokeng reportedly handed herself over at the Mondeor Police Station, in Johannesburg, on Sunday, 19 January 2025 after police came to her residence looking for her in connection with the assault.

According to police reports, the Gauteng Province Cold Case Investigation Unit conducted an intelligence operation that ultimately led to her apprehension in the Mondeor area. Officers noted that Maweni was not only charged in connection with the 2019 assault but also separate pending matters.

The case has been postponed to 11 February 2025 after the court discovered that Mofokeng had four previous convictions against her, dating back to 2015 that she had not disclosed.
