  "account": "Fear has gripped the Kempton Park community after the fifth woman's body was discovered in the area. The 38-year-old runner, Elizabeth \"Tsontso\" Moselakgomo, was identified by her family at the Germiston mortuary on Monday, September 14. Moselakgomo had gone for her regular jog and was not seen returning home by 6:30 PM. Her eight-year-old daughter noticed her mother was missing and alerted her relatives, leading to the grim discovery. The family praised the young daughter for her quick thinking and brave actions. Moselakgomo, originally from Mpumalanga, worked as a centre manager at Festival Mall in Kempton Park. The community has been deeply affected by the series of incidents, with residents fearing for their safety. Women are now sleeping with one eye open, calling for increased police presence to ensure their protection. The Tembisa Community Forum and the Not In My Name International movement have called for stronger institutions and decisive laws to prevent such tragedies in the future.",
