Rachel Kolisi broke her silence on Monday, 14 September 2026, reposting a tribute to Elizabeth "Tsontso" Moselakgomo, the 38-year-old runner whose disappearance gripped South Africa last week. The activist and public figure shared the heartbreaking news with a crying emoji, drawing attention to a case that has left Mzansi deeply unsettled.
Moselakgomo, a mother, was last seen heading out for a run before she went missing. Her disappearance prompted widespread concern, particularly among South Africa's running community. In the tribute reposted by Rachel, Moselakgomo is pictured wearing a red T-shirt and red cap, with race bib number 4831 visible — a snapshot of a woman who clearly loved the sport.
Runner's body identified at Germiston mortuary
Police confirmed on Sunday that the fourth body discovered in a ditch in Kempton Park belonged to Moselakgomo. Her family rushed to the scene after the body was found on Sunday night, but were initially unable to make a formal identification due to the severe injuries the woman had sustained. They later made a positive identification at Germiston Mortuary.

The situation became even more alarming when another female body was discovered in the same area on Monday, bringing the total number of bodies found there to five over a two-month period. Senior police officers have since visited the site to intensify their investigations into the separate discoveries.
Authorities have flagged a disturbing pattern in the Kempton Park area, issuing a public caution about online dating scams that they believe are connected to a series of robberies and assaults. The location where Moselakgomo went missing falls within the same vicinity where the five bodies were recovered, raising serious questions about the safety of women in the area.
Police have not yet confirmed a direct link between all the deaths, but investigations are ongoing as the community demands answers.
