This week, the man accused of shooting and killing the City of Cape Town’s first black female scientific officer appeared in the Western Cape High Court.Ivan Magokane stands on trial for the murder of Mpharu Hloyi, the first black female scientific officer of the scientific services unit of the Athlone water and waste treatment plant in Cape Town, and the attempted murder of three of Hloyi’s colleagues.
Complicating matters even more, Magokane began unexpectedly visiting Cape Town, intensifying an already tense relationship. During her testimony, Malema said she received a call from Hloyi while preparing for meetings. Hloyi informed her that she was still on her way to work, and reception had called her, stating that a man in the reception area wanted to see her.
She also contacted her father, a female colleague, and a friend of Magokane. ‘After that, I decided to call the police,’ she said. ‘I googled the Athlone police station number, and a lady answered. I told her my partner had arrived at work unannounced, and we had relationship issues. Malema said she went to Hloyi’s office and sat down on the couch. ‘My coping mechanism was to keep quiet.’ She WhatsApped her brother to phone the police again because they had still not arrived by that time.
