Ekurhuleni killings: Ramaphosa vows cases will not go cold

PRETORIA – President Cyril Ramaphosa has assured the families of women who were brutally murdered across Ekurhuleni that their cases will not go cold.

Speaking about the investigations during his address to the nation on Tuesday, Ramaphosa said the State was bringing together its available resources to establish what happened and identify those responsible.

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

He said authorities would continue to update the public as investigations progress, while protecting the integrity of the cases and the rights of those involved.

Ramaphosa also issued a direct appeal to the public: “If you know something, say something.”

He highlighted concerns around missing-person reports, noting that only two of the women found dead in Ekurhuleni had been reported missing.

He stressed that families do not have to wait 24 hours before reporting someone missing.

If you have reason to fear that something is wrong about any loved one, report it immediately.
