Meanwhile, the family lawyer, Alude Xuba, claims a report was handed to them nearly a year after Mpho died:

"We got the investigation report almost a year later, and that accident report was sort of constructed because we demanded it. Firstly, it’s apparent no investigation happened, secondly, we want an investigation report, thirdly, we want to know the outcomes of the investigation, and nothing has been forthcoming."

Mpho was laid to rest on 11 May 2024, at the Rhema Bible Church in Randburg. His death continues to haunt those who knew and loved him, and his family is yet to get closure.

Moreover, Kaya News reports that the police are also looking into a case of culpable homicide.
