Family of the late runner thank police, public for support
Family of the late runner Elizabeth Moselakgomo thanks police and members of the public
The family of Elizabeth Moselakgomo has expressed gratitude towards the police and the general public for their support during the search for the 36-year-old runner. Moselakgomo's remains were discovered in the Kempton Park area of Gauteng's East Rand over the weekend. She went missing last week after taking a run. Her family confirmed the identification of the body.
In the past two months, four other women's bodies have been found in the same region. Moselakgomo's uncle, Lt. Col. Andries Matlaila, shared that the family's situation was extremely challenging. They attempted to enter the crime scene yesterday but were unable to do so due to their emotional state. Today, however, they were able to visit the location, thanks to the presence of the South African National Police Services' psychosocial team.
This support helped them navigate the process of positively identifying the body. The family's eight-year-old daughter played a crucial role in alerting the family that their mother was missing.
