Residents of Kempton Park, South Africa, and surrounding areas ran through Rhodesfield on Tuesday to remember Elizabeth Mokolo Moselakgomo.
The 38-year-old, known as Tsontso, had not returned from a run on Thursday and her body was found in Rhodesfield on Saturday. Penny Letsoalo organised the memorial run, beginning near a hotel Moselakgomo frequented during her jogs. Runners followed the route she usually took, finishing at her home on Mustang Street and then at the location where her body was discovered.
Participants paused to pray, light candles, and observe a moment of silence to honour Moselakgomo’s memory. Letsoalo, a resident of Rhodesfield, explained she felt deeply affected by the news despite not knowing Moselakgomo personally and wanted to express her solidarity with the community. The run served as a tribute to Moselakgomo and a way for people to cope with the emotional impact of her death.
