Eleventh Female Body Found in Ekurhuleni Intensifies South Africa Femicide Crisis

South African police discovered the body of an 11th woman in the Ekurhuleni municipality east of Johannesburg on September 28, 2026. This latest discovery follows a series of female deaths in the region since mid-July, with six bodies found in just 10 days earlier this month. While authorities have not confirmed a single serial killer, they note similarities in victimology and modus operandi. Four individuals are currently in custody related to the series, including two women charged for the ninth killing, which police believe was an isolated incident. The discoveries have triggered national outrage and heightened security measures, with President Cyril Ramaphosa condemning the violence as a shame on the nation.
