Body of missing runner found in South Africa: 'It is very scary'
A nationwide appeal was launched after Elizabeth Moselakgomo went missing last week. Four other women's bodies have been found nearby.
On Monday, the body of 38-year-old Elizabeth "Tsontso" Moselakgomo was positively identified at the Germiston mortuary by her family, bringing an end to a weeks-long search after she went missing while on a run in Rhodesfield, Kempton Park on 9 September. Moselakgomo disappeared following her afternoon run, leading to a community-wide search effort.
Acting National Police Commissioner Lieutenant General Puleng Dimpane expressed deep sympathies for Moselakgomo's family, acknowledging the devastating loss and assuring that the SAPS will do everything in its power to determine the circumstances surrounding her disappearance and bring those responsible to justice. Meanwhile, suspended Ekurhuleni Metro Police Department (EMPD) Deputy Chief Julius Mkhwanazi has been granted R10,000 bail in the high-profile blue lights case, though he remains in prison.
Mkhwanazi had initially appeared at the Johannesburg Magistrate's Court on 20 July 2026 to hear the outcome of his bail application, which was reserved for decision at that time. Additionally, rumours circulating online about Pearl Thusi's massive South African Revenue Service (Sars) tax bill have been addressed by the celebrity herself.
After reports suggesting she owes nearly R15 million, Thusi has clarified that this figure is inaccurate and does not represent the actual amount she owes the Sars.
