SOUTH AFRICA — Civil rights organisation Not In My Name International (NIMNI) has called for an urgent, coordinated investigation into the disappearance of 38-year-old runner Elizabeth "Tsontso" Moselakgomo, following the discovery of multiple bodies in Kempton Park, Ekurhuleni.

Moselakgomo, a mother, was last seen after setting out for a jog. Her whereabouts remain unknown as authorities work to formally identify a fifth body found in the vicinity.

NIMNI calls on SAPS to act

According to African Times, NIMNI urged the South African Police Service to determine whether the discovered bodies are connected to a single perpetrator operating in the area. The organisation also cautioned the public against sharing unverified information while formal identification processes are still underway.

National spokesperson Boitumelo Thage said Moselakgomo's family and the broader running community are waiting for verified answers from authorities. Thage stressed that Moselakgomo "is not merely a missing-person statistic." NIMNI welcomed the formation of a multidisciplinary police task team assigned to investigate the disappearances and deaths, but called on investigators to act swiftly and pursue every available lead.

Women's safety at the centre of concern

Beyond the specific case, NIMNI raised broader concerns about the safety of women in South Africa. The organisation stated that women should not have to weigh whether jogging or moving through their own neighbourhoods could put their lives at risk. NIMNI also urged members of the public who hold credible information to come forward and assist police as the investigation continues into whether a serial perpetrator is responsible for the incidents in Kempton Park.
