Messages of support pour in for the family of missing Olorato Mongale whose dead body was found on Monday morning after she was reported missing on Sunday 25 May.

Olorato is the daughter of prominent Bloemfontein based business woman Keabetswe Mongale.

Her lifeless body was found in Lombardy West,  Johannesburg after being dumped by a white Volkswagen Polo vehicle.

According to the family spokesperson Criselda Kananda, Mongale went missing on Sunday at 15:00 and a missing persons case was opened at the Bramley police station.

Mongales body was discovered after the Lombardy West community group alerted members that a white Polo had come and dumped a dead body.

Police were called and it was confirmed that there was a shallowly beaten dead body of a young lady. The community members of Lomardy say it is not the first time a dead body has been dumped near their houses.

“It is with deep sorrow and heavy hearts that we confirm the passing of Olorato. Her body has been found and positively identified.

“We are devastated by this tragic loss and ask that you continue to keep our family and loved ones on your thoughts and prayers during this incredibly difficult time.

“Our family requests prayers as we take time to grieve, process, and begin to heal from this heartbreaking news. Details regarding Olorato’s burial will be shared in due course, said Kananda.
