Detective Sergeant Mokgaetsi Predict Sema is a true inspiration! She’s a beacon of hope for victims of gender-based violence and femicide, bringing hope and assurance through her tireless efforts. With her optimistic outlook, she focuses on the good in every situation, making her an exceptional leader in her field.
As a highly accomplished detective, Sergeant Sema has an impressive background. She was attached to the Burgersfort Family Violence Child Protection and Sexual Offenses Unit (FCS) in 2017 and later moved to the Provincial FCS SECI (Serial and Electronic Crime Investigation Unit) in 2019. Her academic achievements include a Bachelor’s degree in Policing, as well as specialized courses in domestic violence, psychological motivated crime, and family violence child protection and sexual offenses.
Sergeant Sema’s passion for investigation, particularly in cases involving women and children, has led to significant breakthroughs. She secured two life sentences against a serial rapist, Pitso Tshwaane Maleka, and also played a crucial role in sentencing other serial rapists to lengthy imprisonment terms.
Her commitment to delivering justice and supporting victims of GBVF is truly inspiring, earning her the Minister’s Award at the Excellence Awards held in Midrand earlier this year.
