Elizabeth 'Tsontso' Moselakgomo Named Among Bodies Found in Kempton Park
Authorities have not confirmed the woman’s identity, and the family is urging the public to avoid unverified claims as formal identification continues.
- On Monday, the family of 38-year-old Elizabeth Tsontso Moselakgomo positively identified her body at the Germiston mortuary after she disappeared following an afternoon run from her Kempton Park home on Wednesday.
- Moselakgomo, a fitness enthusiast, left her eight-year-old daughter at home before heading out on Wednesday; her death is now part of a wider South African Police Service investigation into several women found dead in the Kempton Park area.
- Acting National Commissioner Lieutenant-General Puleng Dimpane directed a multidisciplinary team to intensify investigations, with police spokesperson Brig Athlenda Mathe confirming officers are working to establish the circumstances surrounding each death and identify possible linkages.
- One suspect remains in custody regarding a separate body discovered in July, though investigators have not confirmed the deaths are connected, as serial killing requires evidence of two or more people killed by the same offender.
- Authorities have urged women to avoid isolated places and not to exercise alone, while SAPS remains committed to protecting women and bringing those responsible for violence to justice by pursuing every lead.
