IN PICTURES: Memorial run in honour of Elizabeth ‘Tsontso’ Moselakgomo in Kempton Park

Runners gathered outside the Kempton Park Police Station on 19 September 2026 for a memorial run to honour Elizabeth ‘Tsontso’ Moselakgomo. According to the Daily Maverick, they carried posters, raised their hands and held a cross as they stood together in remembrance, calling for an end to violence against women.

Moselakgomo, 38, disappeared on 9 September while out on an afternoon run in Kempton Park and her body was found three days later in Rhodesfield. Her funeral service took place in Phake, Mpumalanga. As reported by SABC News, her death has renewed concerns about the safety of women in Ekurhuleni, following the discovery of the bodies of eight other women in different parts of the municipal area.

The Gauteng government has pledged support to Moselakgomo's family and mourners. SABC News described Moselakgomo as a devoted mother, a passionate runner, and a woman who played an important role in her family and community. Police are investigating whether there are links between the cases of the nine women whose bodies have been found across Ekurhuleni in nine weeks.
