The body of a woman was found along the Magalies mountain range in the north of Pretoria on Sunday morning, Akasia police said.
Spokesperson Sergeant Matsobane Mabusela said the body was found through the assistance of the search and rescue unit.
“The woman was found to have still been wearing a dress but her underwear was missing.
“It was unclear at this stage, how old the woman was.”

According to Mabusela, police started the search on Saturday evening, but that it was called off once it became dark.
“The search started last night, with the K9-unit but because of the darkness they had to stop and continued once again this morning,” Mabusela said.
Mabusela said investigations were still underway, to determine whether or not the deceased woman could be linked to a recent kidnapping case.
“We’re waiting for the family to identify her first,” Mabusela said.
