Body of a teen found in Masiphumelele

 On a Sunday morning while playing in the backyards of section C, a group of children found a body covered in a cloth.

According to community activist Tshepo Moletsane the children out of curiosity had uncovered the body before running to tell their parents, who in turn called on their neigbours who later helped in identifying the girl. Moletsane stated that people who arrived at the scene first, claimed that the body of the young girl was covered in bruises and looked to be between 14 to 16 years old.

When identified as a girl from ocean view, her parents were immediately informed for confirmation. Moletsane said a meeting was expected to be held to discuss ways to assist the police. The community was shocked that such an accident happened in their area, with a similar one having taken place in 2015.

The girl is believed to have been dragged, as the area was not easily accessible with a car. The community hopes an arrest will be made soon to ease tension rising although police have yet to respond on the death of the girl by deadline.
