Family pleads with public to help police find Olorato Mongale's killers
The public is being urged to help police find Olorato Mongale's killers.
This as police have issued identikits of three suspects they want to question about Sunday's murder of the Wits postgraduate student. The owner of the car that was used to pick her up from her apartment block in Atholl, Johannesburg, has been arrested.
Family spokesperson Criselda Kananda said: 'We wish to express our deepest gratitude to the police for their diligent work in locating the car. While we take a small measure of comfort in this progress, we remain devastated that the suspects are still at large.
'We urge the community to continue to come together and assist in bringing them to justice. These suspects are still out there and possibly continuing to commit atrocious crimes. Someone must have information that could help the investigation — we plead with you to come forward.'
Mongale went on a date with her alleged killer who picked her up from her residential complex in a VW Polo at about 3pm on Sunday. It was later discovered the vehicle had fake number plates.
National police spokesperson Athlenda Mathe said: 'He drove with the victim in the township of Alexandra, proceeded to Kew and, between Alexandra and Lombardy West in Johannesburg, this man allegedly murdered Olorato and dumped her body.

Unwanted gifts from your ex? Toss it in the ex-press disposable truck
In South Africa, the dating-app landscape is far bleaker as people's safety has been threatened. The Tinder disposable truck being used by disgruntled lover in India. Picture: @e4mtweets/X Breakups are messy and leave many people in a pit of regret. However, dating app Tinder has given people an opportunity to get rid of unwanted gifts from former lovers in the form of a disposable truck. Aptly titled the 'ex-press disposal truck', the cute pink garbage truck was launched in April by Tinder India as a way of helping disgruntled lovers get rid of gifts that they received from their exes. Tinder is a mobile dating and social discovery app that connects users with potential matches through a swipe-based system, using profile information and location to suggest compatible people. If two people both 'like' each other's profiles, they can start chatting after swiping right on each other's profiles. ALSO READ: Public urged to beware of strangers from dating apps Giving people closure The truck is part of Tinder's 'Move On' campaign, which aims to normalise the emotional aftermath of breakups and help people find closure. The truck has been seen in Mumbai as part of Tinder's local campaign. The truck comes with a 'drop-off zone' where individuals can dispose of items like love letters, hoodies, sentimental gifts, and even playlists associated with past love interests. The fickle nature of dating apps is evident in how people quickly move on from one relationship to the next by simply swiping to the right. The Pew Research Center, a nonpartisan think tank based in the US that provides the public with information about pressing issues impacting the world, did a study in 2023 that found that approximately 10% of heterosexual people and 24% of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Intersex, and Asexual (LGBTQIA+) people have met their long-term partner online.

In South Africa, the dating-app landscape is far bleaker as people's safety has been threatened. The Gauteng Provincial Legislature's portfolio committee on community safety has raised concerns about a disturbing rise in kidnappings and robberies in Johannesburg's Maboneng precinct, linked to dating apps. The committee made an unannounced visit to Jeppe Police Station last Friday, where it was briefed by station management on the pattern of crimes linked to online dating apps. 'During the visit, station management briefed the committee on a disturbing trend where victims from across Gauteng are lured to Maboneng through hookup apps, only to be kidnapped, robbed, or assaulted,' read the committee's statement on the day. It added that the criminal tactics resemble those used in the Olorato Mongale murder case, where strangers trick victims they met online or in public places, then violently attack them. The committee spoke with concern about the recent arrest of a gang operating in Maboneng that allegedly targeted members of the LGBTQIA+ community. 'The committee condemns these crimes in the strongest terms and calls for heightened vigilance from all citizens,' the statement read. NOW READ: Love hurts: Seven common sex injuries

Olorato's death shows justice system's failure
Olorato Mongale's killers were released on bail, despite previous cases. A broken justice system failed her and countless others in South Africa. Just over a month ago, the two people who became the main suspects in the murder case that became a national focus point were arrested for kidnapping and robbing a woman in Brakpan on the East Rand. On 26 April they were released on bail. Nothing strange there. Everyone who appears in court suspected of committing a crime is entitled to bail, unless there are conditions that make the presiding magistrate believe they will not return to court to face justice, or that they are a threat to the public or witnesses in the case they are facing. The two suspects in the murder of Free State woman Olorato Mongale were facing similar charges in other cases, yet they were released on bail. And the country is shocked that they did exactly what they were accused of doing in a previous case. There is no logic or sense to this kind of application of the law. It is time South Africa faced the reality that Mongale was murdered by men who were let loose by institutions tasked with protecting her. ALSO READ: WATCH: Olorato Mongale remembered as 'light extinguished too soon', police vow action It might sound alarmist, but even a cursory glance at the case shows that the police, the courts and the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) let Philangenkosi Sibongokuhle Makhanya and Bongani Mthimkhulu out on bail in April. What is sad is that even as Mongale's family desperately searches for closure that might never come because one of the suspects was shot dead in confrontation with the police, all arms of the a criminal justice system can each give what they think are acceptable reasons for letting the suspects go. And the public must just accept those reasons. The system, the whole system, not just the NPA, is broken. It has become fashionable to just heap all the blame on the NPA in cases where the system fails to deliver justice for citizens. But the truth is that the NPA is just one of the cogs in the system. The police must arrest the suspects and investigate if such suspects are deserving of bail. They must look at establishing whether the suspect has a stable address. Makhanya and Mthimkhulu being arrested for robbery and kidnapping in Brakpan using a vehicle whose owner resides in KwaZulu-Natal should set the alarm bells off. ALSO READ: 'The system is broken': Olorato Mongale's family outraged ahead of funeral Establishing car ownership and verifying addresses should be the easiest part of policing. Yet cops fail to do this regularly. Part of the reason they fail is that, unlike in the movies, South African cops do not have a computer screen on their desks. In the era of artificial intelligence, cops in this country are not always online. They must schedule time in front of a computer to do a basic identity search on a suspect. They operate in offices equipped with just a desk for their physical docket which, for the right price, can be made to disappear. And dangerous suspects are set loose to terrorise vulnerable communities. President Cyril Ramaphosa's government, from Police Minister Senzo Mchunu all the way down to that unnamed prosecutor in Brakpan, must take responsibility for what happened to Mongale. The country must stop calling it an 'NPA bungle' and lay the blame on all the institutions and people responsible for the death of any woman, man or child at the hands of a person who should not be walking the streets. Yes, men kill women and that should be acknowledged, but the government and all its institutions allow it to happen. Mongale would be alive if the government had protected her.
