The South African Police Service (SAPS) has arrested a suspect found in possession of an item belonging to runner Elizabeth Tsontso Moselakgomo.
In a statement on Monday, 12 October 2026, police confirmed that the suspect is expected to appear before the Kempton Park Magistrate’s Court.
The suspect is likely to face a charge of being in possession of stolen property.
SAPS emphasised that no murder charge has been brought against the suspect at this stage.
Moselakgomo, 38, disappeared on 9 September after leaving her Rhodesfield home for her usual afternoon run.
Her eight-year-old daughter, Khumo, raised the alarm when her mother failed to return at her expected time.
Her body was found in Rhodesfield on 12 September. Her family formally identified her at the Germiston mortuary two days later. Moselakgomo was laid to rest in Phake, Mpumalanga, on 20 September.
Investigations into the matter are ongoing.
