‘He was special’
MASERU-Thapelo Mokete always had an inkling that his father would die by a bullet and not through natural causes.
That was because his father, Rethabile Mokete, better known as Mosotho Chakela, had made “too many enemies that were vying for his blood”.
Feared and loathed in equal measure, Mokete was the kingpin of the Terene famo music gang that was always in mortal combat with a rival gang called Seakhi.
Mokete controlled the Terene famo gang with icy ruthlessness. Those who dared cross his path were quickly eliminated.
Mokete, who died on December 28 from a Covid-19 related illness, was laid to rest in Bloemfontein, South Africa, on Monday.
