Police make arrests following murder 30-year-old Olorato Mongale

Police say investigations into the murder of Olorato Mongale are continuing and the search for suspects has reached a critical stage. Mongale was brutally murdered and dumped in a sidewalk in Lombardy, Johannesburg just two hours after she had informed her loved ones that she was going on a date at the weekend. The 30-year-old reportedly met the man in Bloemfontein, Free State, last week and they agreed to meet in Johannesburg. The student was last seen alive when she was picked up by a white VW polo outside her apartment. SAPS national spokesperson Brigadier Athlenda Mathe, says there is a syndicate that targets women at malls. The perpetrators approach them, request to take them out on dates, and  then rob them.
