According to Sgt Naniki Nonyane, spokesperson of Masoyi police, the woman was lying on her back, with her face covered with her bra and her hands tied with blue jeans to a nearby tree. Her underwear was found lying next to her body.

“The woman’s relatives have not been located yet and we didn’t have any case of a missing woman. We, therefore, encourage anyone who has a missing person to report them to their nearest police station. We also encourage anyone with a missing relative to visit Masoyi police station,” she said.

This discovery happened barely a week after another woman from Sandriver was found dead at Ivory Park. Locals voiced their concerns on social networks alleging that this might be linked to hitchhiking incidents.
