The spate of murders since July has sparked fears that a serial killer or killers are responsible. The killings have also generated anger in South Africa where femicide and violent crime are prevalent.
Gauteng police spokesperson Brigadier Brenda Muridili confirmed that the half-naked body of a woman was discovered in an open veld near Rhokana Road in Springs on Friday.
The deaths have prompted community groups and organisations in other parts of the country to intensify campaigns against gender-based violence.
