Itumeleng Kekana’s Tragic Disappearance | Johannesburg News
from Johannesburg News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!
A mother’s tragic disappearance and brutal murder has shattered a family and ignited a community-wide outcry. Itumeleng Kekana, 32, vanished on July 17 after a birthday call to her brother — a stark contrast to her usual constant contact. Seventeen days of frantic searches ended in horror when her body was found near the R21 highway, partially clothed and bearing severe injuries. Her death joins eight other women killed in Ekurhuleni, sparking fears of a pattern. The police are now investigating possible links between the cases, offering a R400,000 reward for leads, while the grieving Kekana family — including her 14-year-old daughter now living with grandparents — plead for justice and answers.
