Brutal murder on ‘date’ exposes robbery gang in South Africa

Olorato Mongale, 30, made sure to follow all the precautions required for a safe first date in Johannesburg, the largest city in South Africa.

She had committed to meeting ‘John’ during the day. After leaving her residence, she texted her pals “on the road” at 2:47 p.m. and provided them her phone number.

They said “enjoy!” in the hopes that she would fall in love.

Their acquaintance had stopped talking an hour later, and her phone location was displaying in hazardous parts of the city.

Seven pals formed a search party to follow Olorato’s online activities.

The murderers of Olorato are said to have been members of a group that robbed young ladies at gunpoint.

“It was illogical. Where is she? Karabo Mokoena asks, “Why is she missing?” as we make our way to the search sites.

They reported her missing to a police station after discovering her bag on a stack of bricks by the side of a major road.

“I believed that we would undoubtedly locate her. Although it wasn’t as we had intended, we did eventually locate her,” Karabo explains.

Less than 100 meters from where her companions were looking during the night, Olorato’s body had been left at the dirt entryway of an unknown house.

Her eyes were black-blue from the forceful hit, and her face was swollen. Her breasts were seen when her top was torn apart. Her post-mortem revealed evidence of blunt force injuries, police reported Sky News. She was probably killed by beatings.

According to Keabetswe Poppy Mongale, Olorato’s mother, “It was like I was dreaming, seeing her body like that with those bruises and blood everywhere,” when she had to identify her only child at the morgue.

“I don’t think what I saw will ever go away,” she continues.

“It hurt so much. My lovely little baby looked different because someone decided to do that to her, and I don’t want that on any parent.”
