Ekurhuleni murders: It’s a shame on the men of SA, Ramaphosa on discovery of tenth body

President Cyril Ramaphosa has expressed his deep concern and condemnation following the discovery of a tenth woman’s body in the Ekurhuleni area, describing the ongoing violence as a profound shame on the men of South Africa.

It is a shame on the men of this country that we continue to see such brutality against women, and it is a stain on our national conscience that we have not yet been able to put an end to this scourge.

The latest discovery, made at a cemetery in the Tembisa township, has intensified the pressure on law enforcement to apprehend those responsible for the string of killings that have plagued the region in recent months. The President reiterated his directive to police leadership to prioritize these investigations and ensure that no stone is left unturned in the pursuit of justice for the victims and their families.

Government officials and community leaders have called for a unified response to the crisis, emphasizing that the safety of women must be treated as a national priority. As investigations continue, authorities are urging members of the public to come forward with any information that could assist in identifying the perpetrators behind these heinous acts.
