The SAPS in Pienaar are looking for a man responsible for the murder of a teenager. She was buried in a shallow grave.
Provincial police spokesman, Brig Leonard Hlathi, said it is alleged that the girl, who was believed to be 17-years-old, was last seen on September 28 after she visited Mpumalanga with a boyfriend.
“The discovery of the body came after police were informed by the community that they spotted a shoe protruding from the ground.

“The boyfriend then purported to be leaving for work, back in Gauteng. Family and neighbours became suspicious and went to check the hole whereafter they made the aforesaid discovery and then reported the matter to the police.”
“Police proceeded to the scene and indeed a female body was dug up and taken by pathologists.”
