President Cyril Ramaphosa has assured the families of women murdered in Ekurhuleni that authorities will continue investigating the cases and will not allow them to go cold.

Addressing the nation on Tuesday, Ramaphosa said the government was bringing together available resources to establish what happened to the victims and identify those responsible for their deaths.

To the families of the women who have been brutally killed, I say that these cases will not be allowed to go cold.

He raised concerns about the number of missing-person cases reported to police, noting that only two of the women whose bodies were found in Ekurhuleni had been reported missing.
