Community runners take to the streets in honour of Tsontso
Community members held prayers, lit candles and observed a moment of silence.
Residents of Kempton Park and surrounding areas came together for a memorial run in Rhodesfield on Tuesday to honor the memory of Elizabeth Mokolo Moselakgomo, affectionately known as Tsontso. The 38-year-old was discovered deceased in her neighborhood on Saturday, following a disappearance that began Thursday. The memorial run, organized by Penny Letsoalo, commenced near a hotel that Tsontso often passed during her jogs and progressed to her home in Mustang Street and the spot where her body was found.
The event saw participants gather for prayers, candle lighting, and a moment of silence, reflecting on the profound impact of Tsontso's passing. Letsoalo, who was deeply moved by the news, shared how the community's response was marked by emotional numbness and anxiety upon learning of her death.
