  "account": "Minister Dina Pule of the Social Development Department visited the family of Elizabeth \"Tsontso\" Moselakgomo, a 38-year-old jogger whose body was found on Monday. Pule pledged her department's assistance to the family. The Kempton Park area has seen several women killed in recent months, raising concerns about a possible serial killer in the Ekurhuleni region. Pule emphasized that women must be able to exercise, travel, work, and participate in community life without fear for their safety. She expressed deep distress over the death of any woman in such tragic circumstances and offered her sympathy to Elizabeth's young daughter, who has endured an unimaginable loss. The department has promised psychosocial support, trauma counselling, and other services to the family, as well as to other victims' families. The minister stated that addressing gender-based violence and femicide requires collective action from society. Acting Police Minister Professor Firoz Cachalia assured the nation that a high-level, multi-disciplinary investigation team is in place, equipped with the necessary expertise to handle cases of this nature.",
