Woman was missing for seven days.
KINROSS – Another body of a woman was found on Wednesday, 2 December.
The body of Ms Magdalene Nhlapo (42) was dumped near the road 500 metres from Kinross.
Ms Nhlapo was last seen alive on Wednesday, 25 November after work at about 8pm in Trichardt.
Her mother said every time that she worked late, she phoned her when she arrived home.
On 25 November, her daughter however did not phone.
“I became worried and decided to phone her.
“When her phone was just ringing, I phoned her fiancée who told me that he had spoken to her on the phone just after she had signed off at work,” she said.
Ms Nhlapo’s mother felt unsettled and asked one of her grandsons to phone her daughter.
A man answered in Zulu and said: “What do you want? You are disturbing us.”
“Then the phone was switched off and I knew something was terribly wrong,” said the mother.
They drove around to look for Ms Nhlapo before going to the Trichardt Police Station to open a missing person’s case.
The family got a phone call from the police on 2 December to go to the station to identify the body of Ms Nhlapo.
“I don’t know what and why this happened to her,” said her mother.
Capt Philemon Matlala said the body was found by a man who was erecting a fence near the road.
The Kinross Police asked that anyone with information, should contact them at 0176871313.
