The DA is offering a cash reward of R500 000 for information that leads to the successful criminal prosecution of the murderer of multiple women in Ekurhuleni.

The DA is doing this because as a party we care deeply about the safety of women in Ekurhuleni, and South Africa at large.

As the DA Mayoral Candidate for Ekurhuleni, the more I can do to help bring this perpetrator to book, the more we will do. I want to see Ekurhuleni safer, and better governed, as soon as possible - and that means ensuring murderers are arrested and put in jail.

The DA is adding to the efforts of law enforcement already under way, and we are doing this supplement and augment those efforts. The DA is adding extra reason for all relevant information to be handed over now, to address this crisis quickly.

Ekurhuleni cannot wait. Women cannot wait. Justice cannot wait.

Let us not forget the families left behind by the deceased, who are mounring. The young 8-year old daughter of Elizabeth “Tsontso” Moselakgomo made the first calls highlighting her disappearance, who brought this to light. Society can follow in her footsteps to bring the perpetrator to light too.

Information must be submitted to the South African Police Service on the record, and the DA must be provided with proof of this information being handed over to the SAPS, for the reward to be considered. The DA will not accept direct tip-offs, or reports, but will only consider properly lodged Police records as sufficient.
