The family of 28-year-old Vutomi Mathebula from Limpopo is devastated after her decomposed body, found in Kempton Park last week, was identified as that of their missing loved one.
Mathebula was reported missing in March, leaving her family without answers about her whereabouts for months.
Her remains were later discovered dumped in the Kempton Park area and were found in a decomposed state. Her identification has now brought devastating news to her family, who had been hoping for her safe return.
The family says that after Mathebula went missing, people they believed were her kidnappers contacted them and demanded a ransom.
The circumstances surrounding her disappearance, the alleged ransom demand and her death remain deeply distressing for her family, who are now left mourning while seeking answers about what happened to her.
Mathebula’s identification comes amid heightened concern over women whose bodies have been found dumped in and around Ekurhuleni in recent months.
