'No links to serial killer yet, but similarities a concern'

UPDATE! The South African Police Service (SAPS) have confirmed that the body of a woman found on 7 September 2026 in a river near the Mall of Thembisa, will be added to the investigation into the six other bodies found in Ekurhuleni over the past two months. Acting Gauteng Police Commissioner, Major-General Fred Kekana, said the 7th body found on 7th September was that of her woman in her 20s and would form part of the ongoing investigations into the deaths.
“It’s no more six bodies. She was found with only her underwear on. We will include this one so that we don’t leave anything,” Kekana said. President Cyril Ramaphosa has, meanwhile, directed police to urgently solve the murders of the women.
UPDATE! Another woman’s body was found this morning, Tuesday, 15 September 2026 on the side of the road in Kwa-Thema, Springs. The discovery comes just a day after a woman’s body was found in Olifantsfontein near Kempton Park. This is the sixth woman’s body found in Ekurhuleni in the past two months.
The half-naked body was discovered on the side of a road in Olifantsfontein. Monday’s grim discovery follows two days after a fourth body was discovered on Saturday, 12 September 2026 on a field in Kempton Park. Before this, three other bodies were found in the same area over a period of about two months
CRIME SCENE: Ekurhuleni, Gauteng: Fears of a serial killer roaming the streets of Kempton Park and surrounding areas are mounting after the body of a fifth woman was found on Monday morning, 14 September 2026.
While the South African Police Service (SAPS) have stopped short of linking the deaths to a serial killer, it issued a warning to women in and around Kempton Park, particularly the Rhodesfield area, to exercise extreme caution.
The police said preliminary information gathered by detectives indicates similarities in the circumstances surrounding the deaths.
“The women were found half naked and with visible bruising, and the discovery sites of the first four women were located within the same vicinity. The similarities are sufficiently concerning for the police to issue a public warning and intensify investigations.
“Women in and around Kempton Park are urged not to walk or run alone, particularly in isolated areas. They should avoid secluded spaces, remain vigilant and, where possible, travel or exercise in groups.
“The safety of women remains a priority for SAPS, and the police will not wait for further incidents before taking decisive action,” the police said.
The Acting National Police Commissioner, Lieutenant General Puleng Dimpane, has directed the Gauteng Provincial Commissioner to immediately establish a dedicated multidisciplinary task team to investigate the cases and determine whether there are links between the incidents.
The task team will be led by the Gauteng Deputy Provincial Commissioner, Major General Mbuso Khumalo, who has been tasked with ensuring that all investigative avenues are pursued and that no stone is left unturned in establishing who is responsible for these deaths.
Anyone with information can contact Warrant Officer Elvis Manyike on 082 465 7249 or use the MySAPS-App anonymously.
