This photo of Mahlodi was shared on social meddia platforms during her family's desperate search to find her after she went missing on Saturday.
A family’s pleas to the Tembisa community to help them find their missing daughter was silenced earlier today with the discovery of a child’s body in Phomolong.
Facebook posts this week urged persons with information on the whereabouts of Mahlodi Setola, to contact her father after she went missing on Saturday.
The decomposing body was found by a worker of Tembisa.
The cause of death is unknown at this stage. SAPS is investigating a case of murder.
Her father told Midrand Tembisa TV NEWS earlier this week, Mahlodi went to buy Nik Naks from a spaza shop near the family house in Skom Street, Phomolong at about 7pm and never returned home.
