A beautiful woman and mother of three who was reported missing has been found charred to death in South Africa.
The burnt remains of Rorisang Baakwalanya, 29, were reportedly found along the road in the village of Lokaleng, in the city of Mahikeng, North West Province, South Africa on Friday. 27th January.
Reports claimed that at the time she left her 11-month-old baby with the nanny, while her two older children were staying with her brother Kagiso Moepetsane in the city of Rustenburg.
She reportedly headed to her boyfriend’s but left his place shortly after the two had engaged in a fight after which she went MIA on Wednesday, 25th January.
Moepetsane said: “We only became aware that she is missing after her friends told us they couldn’t get hold of her.
“When we contacted her boyfriend on the 27th [January], he told us he also doesn’t know where she is because she left after they had a fight.”
Evidently worried and unable to locate her, the 29-year-old’s family reported her disappearance to the cops and posted pictures of her on multiple social media platforms in order to find her.
Baakwalanya was reportedly found after a woman commented on her brother Kagiso Moepetsane’s post and claimed that the police had found a woman’s burnt body in the village.
Moepetsane said: “She advised us to go to Mmabatho police station as they were handling the case.”
He explained that his two sisters went to identify the body on Sunday, 29th January, and added: “I was scared to go, I didn’t want to be left with the haunting images.
“But at least they managed to identify her through her tattoos.”
Rorisang’s brother claimed that authorities have not figured out how she died as the autopsy did not provide clear results on the cause of death.
He said: “We are not sure, but it seems like she was beaten before she was burnt.
“We want [the] police to conduct a thorough investigation without us interfering, we want justice for Rorisang and we want [the] police to do their job.”
Provincial police spokesperson Brigadier Sabata Mokgwabone confirmed that the police are investigating a murder.
Mokgwabone said: “The motive is unknown at this stage and no arrest has been effected.
“Investigations into the matter are still under way.”
